You Heard It Here First
Today, June 29, 2004, is a day that will go down in infamy as the start of the downfall of VH1 Classic. Next week they are starting a show called "Classic Current" which will feature new videos from classic artists like Sting, Prince, etc., and they are previewing it during today's Tuesday Twoplay. While this in and of itself is not terrible news, it has opened the floodgates for the channel to play music from terrible 90s bands like the Lemonheads and crappy 90s Aerosmith. The designation of a classic should be that it came out prior to the previous decade... so the most recent classic should be from the 80s. Once we hit 2010, songs from the 90s can be classics. This rule would also prevent the utterly pointless I Love the 90s set to air next month (Remember when Britney Spears was wearing a school uniform in a video? Gee, it was so long ago...). For shame, VH1 Classic. What's next, commercials? Soon you'll be MTV2 all over again (I miss the launch of that channel when they played what was at that time all 19,000 videos ever made in alphabetical order).
