While is ridiculously easy to soak in Derek Jarman's work in the UK at the moment, it's nigh impossible to find anything programmed in the US. Fortunately, one of Jarman's most easily accessible bodies of work--music videos--is also one of his most readily available. For some reason, it's also one of his least recognized critically. [I hope someone will prove me wrong by sending links or references to a nice article or exhibition of Jarman's music videos.]
Cross referencing the incomplete list on Wikipedia with the partially obscured filmography in Rowland Wymer's 2005 critical essays collection, Derek Jarman, I think I've come up with a complete list. Then I searched them out on YouTube. Everyone knows The Smiths and the Pet Shop Boys, but did you know Jarman directed the video for Wang Chung's "Dance Hall Days"?

Jarman's music video magnum opus: eight backdrop films in super-8mm and 16mm which Jarman created for the Pet Shop Boys 1989 world tour. They're included in Jarman's 1990 video, "Highlights: Pet Shop Boys on Tour," which was shot at Wembley Stadium. They were also released separately as "Projections," (1993), on VHS. It included seven of the original eight backdrop videos [minus "Nothing Has Been Proven"]. Plus two PSB songs set to excerpts of Jarman's short films: Studio Bankside played to "Being Boring," and Garden In Luxor was accompanied by "Violence."
The video for "King's Cross" is here:

Annie Lennox: "Every Time We Say Goodbye," from the AIDS fundraising album, Red Hot & Blue, it includes home movies shot by Jarman's father. Lennox also sang this in Edward II. This is absolutely my favorite version of this song, ever:
Patti Smith: "Memorial Tribute," listed by the first line of the lyrics, "Little Emerald Bird," (1993): a song dedicated to the memory of Smith's friend Robert Mapplethorpe. Not found.
