Many of our favorite music videos of 2017 reveled in fantasy, conjuring new worlds separate from our own, while others found art in the everyday. Some featured electric dancing of the highest caliber; others highlighted moves anyone could pull off. A few cleverly embraced the memed-out culture of modern media, while some aimed for old-fashioned timelessness. In total, they all proved that there is no one way to make a spectacular video.

20. Migos: “T-Shirt”

Directors: DAPS and Quavo

Is Quavo about as good at directing visual epics as The Revenant auteur Alejandro G. Iñárritu? Maybe: Even Chance the Rapper says this video deserves an Oscar nod. Collaborating with the British artist DAPS, Quavo takes all the fun parts of The Revenant—fur coats, campfires, gorgeous mountain vistas—and subtracts all the gritted-teeth and super-serious drama to make something just about as grandly beautiful (and a trillion times more watchable). –Kevin Lozano
