Subject: Mtv has a music video site - Mtv is actually playing music videos now!

Written By: ChuckyG on 10/28/08 at 6:53 pm

The selection is pretty good, even including some stuff from their programs, like Pop Up Videos and concerts.  There's 15 videos for the Talking Heads, which isn't all of them, but is a pretty big list.  Sound quality varies from vid to vid.  Better quality than most YouTube videos, but not DVD quality (or even VHS quality).  It's Mtv though, so I expect they'll screw it up or make it lame somehow.  They always manage to do that (look at how far VH1 Classic has fallen since it's launch).

hmm... selection on some artists is pretty thin... Elton John is missing a ton like "I'm Still Standing" an early Mtv staple.  Duran Duran has 42, but more than half of those are interview clips (yawn).

Still a decent start.  One can only hope they build on it and add more.

I say it was going downhill after 1995, when whatever parental control company(PTC?) started manipulating MTV to soften up the humor in Beavis and Butthead.  TRL with Carson Daly is when MTV was turning for the worst.

YouTube is better, though until they removed many videos

The only thing that would make the MTV music site better if they include more archival footage (ie performances, interviews), vintage bumpers, and even their vintage programming.

Though there's clips of "Yo! MTV Raps" and from the second episode of "Headbanger's Ball" on the regular site.
