Good storytelling, fine acting, thrills, surprise endings, excellent handshaking...

Our round-up of 2014 continues what we think are probably our favourite 20 narrative music videos of the year - of the mainly non-comedic variety. And this lot contains all of the above, and much more besides.

And boy, it was hard to keep this down to just 20 videos...

PS. So, we added one more we thought had to be in there...
