why do artists like music videos?

music videos make them look good. highly stylized represented.
visual element to a story. an excellent way to promote the band. its fun.
they get to work with great directors. spike jonze, chris cunningham,michael gondry.the story of the song is in a visual way lots of music videos have a narrative. videos can show personality of the band. allows band to do stuff they cannot do on stage, product placement/endorsement :)
