quite simply what is conducive to the concept and/or atmosphere of the song. some examples come to mind...
-radiohead, no surprises
-sigur ros, untitled 1
-chemical brothers, starguitar
-daft punk, da funk
-nine inch nails, perfect drug
-massive attack, teardrop
-bjork, unravel
-pearljam, evolution

hmmm.. if i list a few of my favorite, most memorable music videos maybe you'd be able to find some commonality between them?

foo fighters - everlong (i can totally relate - it's just like a dream)
chemical brothers - let forever be; hey boy, hey girl (both are kind of trippy)
feist - my moon, my man (i loved the choreography)
ok go - here it goes again (it's a fun video with great choreography)
korn - freak on a leash (i loved the special effects and it sort of left an impression on me)
michael jackson - thriller (loved the choreography, make-up and story)
radiohead - just; paranoid android; street spirit (i loved the mystery of just, the bizarre story behind the animation for paranoid android and the special effects for street spirit)
smashing pumpkins - tonight, tonight (it's theatrical and artistically beautiful i guess)
