Looks like the vault isn't completely open from my quick searches. For example, only one Gin Blossoms video. I then thought about vids that are obscure but ones I remember seeing often on MTV and I thought about Matthew Sweet and they don't have anything from him.

I'm gonna assume they just still have tons of stuff to upload.


It's funny how Rick Astley is one of the top rated.

 

This video search engine isn't all that hot. I can find more videos on Youtube for alot of the band I listen to. I did find this one by Born Ruffians. I saw them last night.

bah, who cares about mtv - to me, it is all about vh-1 classic. I watch that channel every morning now and they are always playing stuff I like and it is from a wide variety of eras ('60s, 70's, and '80s).

 

I went over to youtube and checked out what he's doing lately. Holy crap has that guy aged, but how in the world does susanna hoffs still look like this?

Oh snap, I never knew there was a video to this song, I've only seen the highly annoying Bat Dance.
