Neutral Milk Hotel are the Flying Scotsman for music trainspotters everywhere. Nobody likes them on first listen. They only produced two albums, the first of which (in my not-so-humble opinion) is a mess of noise, while the second is an Anne Frank concept album recorded with period instruments (if you're willing to invest the time and effort it is a sure thing to become one of your favourite albums of all time. Though you'll have no idea why). They played their first gig at a laundromat.
I don't think they actually made any music videos as such (the one linked here is a fan-made effort). I guess it's not really all that surprising: I can't imagine they were much in demand with MTV.
