OK Go: Every Concept Video Ranked From Worst To Best

Before a collection of treadmills boosted them into the stratosphere, they'd tried their hand at a simpler choreographed dance routine in their backyard. "A Million Ways" might lack the sheen of their more recent endeavors, but there's something truly magical about this video.

A bunch of dapper dudes in the backyard dancing in synchronicity to a funky little rock number? What's not to love about that. It's simple, it's silly, and it's the perfect jumping off point for a rock band who wants to take charge of their own creative destiny.

The band says the routine was inspired in equal parts by The Matrix and Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation era. This is the first of many examples that prove OK Go has a very peculiar (but effective) way of meshing their tastes.
