Regardless of the missing M in MTV today, MTV was once a great resource for accelerating my music taste. There was once a time where most of my music I heard started from MTV and there was no shame in it. My first Smashing Pumpkins song? MTV My first Pearl Jam song? MTV My first Live song etc. etc. MTV Now there is not a single artist that I discover through that channel. Not even one! Every other resource beats it! So to a channel that used to mean something!

I have never watched MTV, only VH1.

MTV was fun for quite a few years, but it turned to crap.

Best VJ they ever had was JJ Jackson (RIP)

Here in Canada we had the much shittier MuchMusic.

I laughed at the Atari commercial...."so intense, so ingenious"....

 

[That 70s Guy]

I miss this!

Reality killed the video star.

VH1 Classic has taken over actually playing music!!!
