Cool Music Part 2

Sabotage was/is the coolest music video of all time.


The year that video came out, MTV gave the best video award to R.E.M. for "everybody hurts".... a hardly inspired video of Michael Stipe whining as he trudges across a bridge.


That is why I will go to my grave hating R.E.M.

EP,

It's not "The end of the world as we know it" :) Your hatin's misplaced...get down on MTV not REM. Heck, they're practically homeboys for you...ha ha ha

Go back a few years to when Jethro Tull got some award, maybe a Grammy for best heavy metal band...huh??? Ian and Co must have been just as confused.
 
Yeah, speaking of Jethro Tull...when he won that award back in 1989 he was up against Metallica....you have to be kidding me.! I lost all faith in the system that day...
 
The "system".......pfffffffff.


Hey Tom, you're right. It is MTV that deserves my wrath.


And that is why I have no cable or satellite and I still don't read through the pile of books that accumulates on my desk.


Dang MTV.

Yer makin' me feel kinda old with this music stuff Grov.
Today it was Booker T and the MG's for me. I range all over but as far as music goes, the 70's and 80's were my formative years.

Did you guys know that they actually played music videos on MTV back then? Yeah, for real, back to back music videos all day long, sorta like radio... Weird eh?

ZZ Top, INXS, Robert Palmer, Thompson Twins, Michael Jackson, The Tubes, Billy Idol... Weird Al Yankovic!
