Showin' the Young Uns the Classics

I would walk 500 miles to get my kids to listen to the classics, but all they want to do is play games. The best (classic) music videos out there (for gamers).

While videos of this type can be extremely terrible, you seem to have isolated some decently-made ones. Cheers!

Thanks for posting that link, phoque; it's another of my favorites.

It just didn't fit the theme my boys wanted me to post

Coincidentally, I was watching these two an hour ago, but I don't know enough about FF to tell if this is from games or movies.

I had no idea that you could play air guitar in GW.

I didn't realize Guild Wars was this gorgeous--that last video link (Enfuego) was frankly just awesome.

misha you're welcome, and I kinda figured ;)

You can feel the fun the creators are having making these videos.

Oh and gotta have the creatures grooving to Ballroom Blitz

This post wins bonus points because it led me to this video of 30,000 Hibs fans singing Sunshine on Leith after their 5-1 CIS cup final win.

The City of Heroes dance gun video is a personal favorite.

The problem is that many classic songs get paired up with awful clips of anime and video games with the editing skills of a octopus.
