Stereogum has been known for giving us the rundown on the most NSFW videos of every year, and 2011 was no exception. While we agree with more of their list (shown here) we want to point out two memorable videos that if we were to sort them based on AWESOME FACTOR they would rank to the very top.
When a director presents nudity or extreme violence on a music video, it is important to incorporate these NSFW scenes with an artistic or valuable context to the story being narrated. A lot of indie bands favor the more mysterious path, creating dark and complex imagery that can go along with their music. It is a much poetic attempt that usually succeeds but it does border-line into the boring. Here are two of the most memorable and extremely captivating videos from 2011.
