It depends on the artist; most of them are purely promotional but I
think some artists have done really creative work in music videos.
I think Kate Bush as produced some of the best videos of the last 
ten years, with _Running Up That Hill_ and _Cloudbusting_ being the
best examples (but then I'm a big fan of Kate Bush).  

Her more recent work from _The Sensual World_ hasn't been quiet as
good as those.  The video for _This Woman's Work_ was pretty good but
not as good as the sequence from the movie _She's Having a Baby_ that 
the song was originally written for.
