That decade had it's moments! All-in-all it turned out to be my fondest decade. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nntd2fgMUYw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xkc-en0_LGY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uB1D9wWxd2w
My favorite videos from the 90s were: Enter sandman Jeremy Digging in the dirt No rain California love I'd do anything for love Black hole sun Amish paradise I stopped watching MTV in the mid 90s.
can't say I much cared for them overall (MUCH worse than the 80's) and your links did nothing to convince me. that said, there were some gems among the muck. some of my favorites: [yt=Kenny Wayne Shepard]CF4f9NdCFUU[/yt] [yt=REM]if-UzXIQ5vw[/yt] [yt=Smooth]MXp413NynFk[/yt] [yt=Cash/U2]l3YFmpSFJ40[/yt] [yt=Mysterious Ways]TxcDTUMLQJI[/yt] (could also have been One, or Even Better Than the Real Thing) [yt=Livin On the Edge]7nqcL0mjMjw[/yt] could have also been "Pink" which was a fun video) so yeah...there's some good stuff - but most of it by veterans still going and less of it by newer artists.
There's this one-hit wonder! If anything, it proves you don't neccessarily need "cookie-cutter" good looks to have a hit song in the video age. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfJe8hQ8ha0
