Anybody miss watching music videos like back in the day on MTV/VH1?

[Adamant]

I missed it. And then I found out you still can. Like on the actual TV. If you have Amazon Prime, scoll over to the "Live TV" option, and then scroll down and select "music". There's a lot of different options, but the big ones are 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s. You can watch all the music videos you want, almost uninterrupted. There's no VJ or anything. The occassional 2 minute commercial pops up every 3-4 music videos or so, but otherwise, it feels just like the old days. And most videos, even super old ones, are surprisingly good quality.

If you miss music videos and you have amazon prime, check it out!

I love music videos from the 80s and 90s especially. Well I grew up in that era though, so I'm biased. lol

But yeah I use to record on my VHS music videos I liked from Much Music up here in Canada.

Hell yeah, used to stay up til midnight just to watch 120 Minutes and Headbanger's Ball. Loved all the popular top 20 shit from the 80s and 90s too. Music videos used to be an art form.

Fuck yeah i loved this show, discovered so many bands through it, I recall seeing the Korn - Blind clip on that show and it blew my mind, bought the album the next day.

There's 5 dedicated channels for music videos here. 4 regular and a 4k channel. The Much Loud and the retro channel get pretty good later at night on the weekends.

Vh1 was a very very good educational tool for the younger folks to learn about 70s-80s music and a few sprinkles about the 60s, they used to play concert clips too and docs etc.

I miss those years, vh1 classic in the UK was awesome

It's not really the same watching them on a streaming service. I like the Youtube vids where they clearly recorded an hour of tv, commercials and all, on vhs or recreate a show by adding old commercials in it. You get to see the music videos then you get a kickass bagel bites commercial with that catchy theme or something.

Everything's on Youtube now, you can select your own videos to watch, there's a zillion times more variety, and you don't have to listen to the VJs drone on and on and on, so no I don't miss the music video shows at all.

Some of my earliest memories were of watching MTV with my mom in the 80s

Some of the VJs were awesome. I always looked forward to the Kurt Loder and Tabatha Soren news reports. I'll never forget hearing that term "self inflicted gun shot wound to the head" over and over in 1994.
