mtv USED TO BE COOL, NOW ITS THUG TV. If I want to see a toilet made of gold in a billion dollar mansion, being used by a bum with a doo rag and gold teeth, I can watch mtv 24 hours a day.

There is a lot of great music being made today. It's been discussed many times in other threads.


So the kids today aren't having any fun? You have got to be kidding! You make it sound like it's so tough out there. We are living in the best time

I used to like it when it first came out but even back then the ratio of "good" music to "crap" was pretty low. The only show which I consistently tried to watch was "120 minutes". That's when I first heard groups like 54-40 and the Bodeans.

I have to agree with an earlier post. I watch VH-1 Classics mostly. I never watch MTV now. I watched it a lot then. Times change.

It's nice to have VH-1 Classics on my cable system. They show a lot of stuff I've not seen in years. It's the best

Yes, great memories of MTV when it first started. Me & my honey Melissa would stay up half the night watching the videos & listening to those 4 or 5 DJ's they had back then.

Commercial free too, remember??!!
