Merely listening to streaming music, while enjoyable, is only half the experience. To get a full understanding of the songs as a music fan, you'll want to watch your favorite artists and bands perform in their official music videos.

Below are some terrific resources for streaming free music videos online. You've surely heard of some of them, but we've still listed them because they're some of the best.

There are, of course, websites that let you stream or download music as well, but not every one of them is legal. Plus, the ones that are illegal are typically vehicles for malware and other unnecessary programs that only serve to bog down your computer or give you viruses.

Get your fix of the latest music video releases all together in one place here. Watch all the latest music videos, check out the official AU charts and MTV playlists, and keep up to date with all the breaking music news. MTV had debuted Dial MTV in 1986, a daily top ten music video countdown show for which viewers could call the toll-free telephone number 1-800-DIAL-MTV to request a music video. The show was replaced by MTV Most Wanted in 1991, which ran until 1996, and later saw a spiritual successor in Total Request Live.

YouTube

What We Like

Tons of content.
Well-known and new music.
High-quality videos.
Several filtering options.

What We Don't Like

Ad-supported videos.
YouTube's size makes native discovery more challenging for emerging artists.

YouTube is no doubt the largest and most popular resource for online videos.

There's a huge number of official music videos that you can watch for free as well as a plethora of user-made videos that cover every conceivable topic.

Simply type the name of your favorite band or artist to see a list of all the videos that go by that name. Chances are, you'll find the band or artist's official channel, which is where they have their official music videos.

However, since other users upload content as well, it's usually fairly easy to find homemade music videos and lyric videos for the songs you search for.

Vimeo is a free social video-based networking and music video site. You can also use the sort options to view the results in different ways as well as search for a particular artist or band.

If you ever get bored of manually searching for music videos, this service also has a good editorial element to it too. The 'staff picks' section is a good place to browse for videos that have recently been spotlighted.

As with most streaming video sites these days, Vimeo also has social networking features that you can use to share your favorite videos on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and other popular social sites.
