Interesting... when I saw the countdown, they started at #90. Does anyone
know why? Did they play these first ten in another airing (like the one
on New Year's Eve)?

Gad, does the world have no taste anymore? Lame song, boring video.

Where was TOOL??? Their videos are THE most original, creative, bizarre,
mind-enhancing, awe inspiring of all!!!

As Beavis would say, "These videos suck!"

Actually, I liked the Green Day video. Don't know about it being number
one. I agree with the Tool videos. The first time I ever heard Prison Sex
was when I saw the video. I watched it entralled. Look at most of the
videos that were on here. Big Mountain..what?? Most of these videos were
boring. They should choose them on what the video looks like, not the
song attached.

Definitely my least favorite song I've seen on MTV all year. How
depressing that it somehow made number one. What was Lucas with the Lid
Off doing in the nineties of the countdown? Everytime I turned on MTV it
was the new breakthrough video and it was SOOOOO good! *sigh*

Tah tah.

Did they judge the songs or the videos? If the latter is the case,
how come Sabotage reach only #15, and three Unplugged videos make
the chart?

: 97 Blind Man/Aerosmith

Shouldn't that Marty Callner dude be, like, put somewhere there are
no filming facilities in? I mean, once it worked, and twice but now
everyone's just sick of his videos...

: 94 Hero/Mariah Carey

Great video... tremendous camera work... NOT! How come videos that
are not actually videos be in top 100?

: 88 Heaven 'n Hell/Salt-n-Pepa

Is it, like, really S'n'P video? Not some other girls? I mean, there
are no butts or boobies...

: 81 You want this/Janet Jackson

no... not really... not at all, in fact

: 79 Buddy Holly/Weezer

Isn't the idea totally stolen from Nirvana/Kerslake's 'In Bloom'?

: 67 Mother '93/Danzig

Another live performance! What's wrong with this list?

: 63 You know how we do it/Ice Cube

yep... you, like, take all the crap videos, and put them ahead of
all the cool stuff...

: 60 So much in love/All-4-one

Show me the guy who thinks that the video showing four dudes (ugly
ones!) sitting on stairs and crying deserves to be among the best
of 1994, higher that 'Low' and 'Sure Shot'! He must have some kind
of problem...

: 55 Cannonball/The Breeders

Is it, like, from the summer of 1993?

: 53 Creep/Stone Temple Pilots

and this one too?..

: 46 cantaloop/US3

and this is from 1992... but who cares?

: 39 Always/Bon Jovi
: 26 Crazy/Aerosmith
: 10 Aerosmith/Amazing

Marty C. strikes again... and again... man, you're old, retire!

: 35 Without you/Mariah Carey
: 33 About a Girl(Unplugged)/Nirvana
: 12 Big Empty(Unplugged)/Stone Temple Pilots
: 7 All Apologies(From MTV unplugged)/Nirvana

live performances...

: 25 Loser/Beck

What does he wear on his head in the beginning, that thing they
never show? what is it?

: 24 None of your business/Salt-n-Pepa

Now i recognize'em...

: 17 Any time, Any place/Janet Jackson

...and her...

: 21 Murder was the case/Snoop Doggy Dogg

i wish it was...

: 15 Sabotage/Beastie Boys

$%#%$#@%^$ 15 #^%$#^ Jonze %$#^&@!

I always thought Beck was making fun of MTV's censorship of corporate
logos, etc. by simply "wearing" a censored-squiggles hat. I could be
wrong, but...

In my opinion, the very best video was produced by the ultimate Beastie
Boys with their "SABOTAGE". Boy, never seen anything like this!
The Top of the Pops!! Really...

See ya

As a GWAR sycophant and worshipper of Oderus Urungus (my .org

mainstream success. I mean, content aside... Their music is GOOD,
original, and they give shows that are tough to top (maybe Thrill Kill
Kult? Maybe Lords of Acid? Only if GWAR was having a really bad night...
which I'm not sure they ever do).

I'm waiting... I think we're gonna see people start to appreciate
GWAR not just as "that sick band" but as the geniuses (in my opinion,
obviously) that they actually are. GWAR is the one band that could handle
mainstream success without selling out. (See the Skulhedface video).

GWAR's music is truly great. . most people, when the word "GWAR" comes
up, immediately think of either "Who?" or "they suck". . but then, once
I've played either "Have You Seen Me?" "Saddam A-Go-Go" or "The Insidious
Soliloquy of Skulhed Face", almost everyone has to admit that they're
extremely creative, and, usually, *good*. :) I don't know what I'd do
without GWAR :)

And is there any possible way *to* see the Skulhed Face video? I
seriously doubt MTV would have played it, even if Headbanger's Ball were
still on the air.
