36/100 Video - "Ava Adore" - Smashing Pumpkins (1998)

"Ava Adore" by Smashing Pumpkins is a creepy cool, cinematic masterpiece.

Throughout the video, band members Billy, D'Arcy and James take turns slinking around the screen at various speeds, entering the exiting our field of vision.

The music video won an award for "most stylish video" at the 1998 VH1 Fashion Awards.

1996 - "1979" - The Smashing Pumpkins

The 80s influences are obvious with the dreamy, spacey atmosphere. Corgan's hushed vocals and nostalgic lyrics evoke carefree and reckless emotions you felt while growing up.

I massacred those high notes before getting pulled off the stage during karaoke, before even reaching the second chorus.

A great year in music paying tribute to another great year. This one falls in the top 10 of all time.

Other favourites from 1996:

"Midnight in A Perfect World" – DJ Shadow

"Where It’s At" – Beck

"Virtual Insanity" – Jamiroquai

"Everything You Do is a Balloon" – Boards of Canada

"Fast Love" – George Michael

"Stupid Girl" - Garbage

"Ready to Go" - Republica
