dondoboy Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 For a band that makes no videos...well, for a network that doesn't air videos...this is all too confusinghttp://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1576284/2...radiohead.jhtml Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 that makes me sad. They shouldn't be recognized by MTV...and Wilco shouldn't recognize their existence. I'm only half joking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cash Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 holy shit, that was... odd the entire list is entirely unlike MTV, it was a great review of the record tho i'm still confused Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I've always thought the people who work for MTV have better taste than the crap they make them play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cash Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I've always thought the people who work for MTV have better taste than the crap they make them play. yeah maybe. i also found this there, i don't know if this is old news or not, but i think its a video that goes along with the KT version of KThttp://www.mtv.com/overdrive/?artist=1160&vid=69283 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
myboyblue Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 wow, that is a pretty damn good list. Good to see MTV maintaining their indie cred. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

anthony Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I miss when Mtv was relevant. I miss videos. Am I alone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
myboyblue Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I miss when Mtv was relevant. I miss videos. Am I alone? It's tough to remember back that long. I do remember 120 minutes fairly fondly. That said, I always found most music videos pretentious. Lip synching, looking serious, overly dramatic, etc. I do like some of the live videos and I loved seeing interviews with bands that I did like. Pearl Jam is one of the last bands that mattered on MTV...and I liked them much more once they stopped making videos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That list shocks me...the further down I scrolled, the more convinced I became that this was posted in the wrong forum, because MTV couldn't possibly have made such a good call. Wonders never cease!

Guest Speed Racer Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 say wah? As background music, Summerteeth is pretty straightforward. Lyrics, no, but music? Pretty straightforward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socbret Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 As background music, Summerteeth is pretty straightforward. Lyrics, no, but music? Pretty straightforward.I can buy that. Being 21 I don't think I remember a time when MTV was even remotely relevant. By the time I really started watching, 120 minutes was at the tail end of it's run. My first memories of watching MTV are from The Smashing Pumpkins "Tonight, Tonight" video Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilco Worshipper Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I miss when Mtv was relevant. I miss videos. Am I alone? I miss it as well. I don't watch ANYTHING on it anymore And I remember the VERY second it aired, we all went to our "cool" friend's house who had cable...lol And this list is VERY strange coming from MTV!

CommerceComet Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Did you notice there are photos of all the artists to the right -- except Wilco? Wilco gets an MTV logo instead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sandoz Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Does anyone remember the excitement when MTV premiered the Michael Jackson "Thriller" video? Now that was awesome. I think I had a slumber party that night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stooka Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 The Real World 1992 Sadly, MTV saw this moment as a basis for their current programing format. back on topic They probably stole that list from my nephews blog, which I would guess is not a bad thing. Let's hope a lot of Grammy voters love RS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sweetheart-mine Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 i missed the appeal of the videos totally, never could get it. the phony lip-synching, the bad acting, the stiltedness of it all -- it just seemed pathetic to me. also, didn't anyone besides me not want the intrusion in your brain of some marketing exec's visual interpretation of the music? once you see a video, the magic is gone. you can't use your imagination. someone else's trendy idea comes screaming into your mind with guns blazing every time you hear a song. "can't stand it"! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the_fliz1 Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 The last people I would think would vote SBS as the best album. It's amazing what a couple of VW commercials will do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jephray Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 The last people I would think would vote SBS as the best album. It's amazing what a couple of VW commercials will do. I'd bet that James Montgomery isn't around too long, more like a 'left of center' list on sirius 26. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
