What do you prefer to see when watching instrumental music videos on YouTube?

I've done all these both but not enough to see if there's a major preference. From what I've seen it doesn't matter at all or depends on the genre. My one house music video has a lot of YouTube plays and that same track on Soundcloud is my second most popular track.

If it's a concert recording I like the video side especially if it was a live recording. If it's something like what Antti Martikainen comes up with then still images work for me. Personally I'm not that fussy because it's all about the music I hear.

For instrumental music, I prefer some sort of visualization, with the artist and song info displayed at some point.

I'm not really a stickler in regards to what I see. I can be a montage, actual music video. What I mostly care about is the quality that comes out of the speakers than the screen.
