VH-1 Classic

[buffalochipz]

A friend taped 6 hours of this channel for me. I was expecting a "greatest hits" of early MTV, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Burning Down The House, etc etc and to a certain extent that's what it was but they also played some pretty obscure stuff I had never seen or totally forgotten about.

for example:
Kate Bush-Suspended In Gaffa
Earons-Land of Hunger
Eurogliders-forgot the song name
Planet P Project-Pink World

Of course, one of the best parts about early videos are the hilariously dated clothes, cheesy effects,and horrendous lip synching. One vintage Hall & Oates video was so bad I was laughing, guffawing even, throughout the whole thing.

Anyone else have this channel?

It's the main reason I have Comcast Digital, I have to say. Videos I had given up ever seeing again are aired on that channel regularly. I can't tell you how many Replacements videos I have seen on that channel.

There's "We are the 80s," "Request Hour,

Yeah, you never know who is going to turn up on the channel. I have seen some videos that I never knew existed; plus some I haven't seen for 20+ yrs. I am looking forward to the Siouxsie special they are planning to show at some point. They were suppos

They could just pull regular MTV off the air and replace it with vh1 classic as far as I'm concerned. MTV is just soap operas and game shows now.[V]

MTV has added MTV Hits (as opposed to VH-1 which was original called Video Hits-1) It plays all the latest crappy videos. It's the old MTV.

I like what the original MTV has become. I liked the Andy Dick reality show spoof. I like the pathetic Sim

"They were supposedly taping it before one of her recent shows in NYC."

They also taped the first night of her 3 consecutive shows in NYC. Unfortunately the microphone gave out in mid-concert for a few minutes(during "2nd Floor").

I swear VH-1 Classic as of late has been playing more "mainstream" 80s videos. Can't quite put my finger on it, but I've been switching away from the station as of late.

I watched "The Alternative" briefly last night before falling asleep, Cracker's Teen Angst followed by Specials' Rat Race followed by a Tom Verlaine video I'd never seen.

While I like the idea that it's on during the same time slot as 120 Minutes, whic

Because of my hideous cable company and its outrageous prices, I have "Broadcast Basic", what my boyfriend refers to as "white trash cable" which is 7.95 per month. However, for an additional 9.95 per month (plus whatever they tack on for converter box an

VH1 Classics has been very repetative as of late. Apparently "Sweet Jane" is the only video the Cowboy Junkies have ever recorded because I've seen it at least 4 times within the past 2 weeks. And someone at the helm of that channel esteems "We Built This

I quite liked the VH1 Classic show I saw the other day. It had The Replacements, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Electronic, Concrete Blonde, etc. Then the pop show came on and had all these primitive 80s dance/boogie videos and I felt really old all of the

"I meant the "Alternative show" on VH1 Classic."

Ya, last sundays was a fairly good 'un. Major points awarded to the channel for airing the Wolfgang Press' "Raintime".
