For what it's worth "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was named the number two video of all time by Rolling Stone in 1993 before Cobain died, with "Sledgehammer" coming in at 1. I'm honor of that list: LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Way off the subject but watching the NLCS I have seen this Red Sox playoff commercial several times this week. Plus I've obviously seem them play and this happen during the game. Anyone else find a bunch of grown men pulling on each other's beards for fun creepy? As a Red Sox fan, I'm ok with it. Better than slapping asses in my opinion! Of course down 7-1 today.... ugh!

Grab ass I guess I'm used to seeing so much over the years I don't notice anymore. Beard tugging is a new one on me.
My honest opinion of this series: Tigers are a better team. But you somehow, some way escaped with winning game 2. So it'll be down to best of 3 with 2 of those in Boston after tonight. And with two there, who knows.
EDIT: SHOULD BE a 3 game series after tonight. But the way things are going now in the 7th, we'll see.

LOL...yup! Leave the beards alone! Speaking of videos and their significance (or lack thereof), anyone ever wonder why "Vogue" was always near the top? I swear, it seemed throughout the 90's "Vogue" "Teen Spirit", "Sledghammer" and "Thriller" were always ranked somehow in the Top 4 videos of all time. Why was "Vogue" always so high? You forgot "Jeremy" "November Rain" and "Money for Nothing." As far as why. Possibly because it was something somewhat different for its time maybe? I mean there was nothing ultra super spectacular about it. But it is one of those videos and songs for that matter that define that era. Yup. And "Take On Me" as well. It's crazy to think how fast Madonna and Prince changed their styles up back then. Madonna had literally just a year before been at 1 with, "Like A Prayer" and would have three more hits (2 #2's) and still be ready to change the style in 1990 and have one of her most important hits. Prince was the same way. Every year, something different. Definitely one of the songs to define that era. I just always thought it was odd that the video was rated so high. I could see "Like A Prayer" more so than "Vogue".

The one thing that I truly have taken from listening to old AT 40 shows is that Linda Ronstadt is an amazing singer. "Hurts So Bad" is one of the songs that makes the year 1980 for me. I've learned a ton about popular music from the 70's and early 80's from AT 40, but nothing as definitive as how amazing Ronstadt's sound was. Ronstadt deserves to be in not just because she sang remakes of song better than the original artists, she made so much music that still matters to this day in so many different fields. I really hope she gets in, personally and critically.

They hit more tonight so maybe they'll turn it around. I'm guessing whoever wins game 5 will have the series, especially if Boston wins.

Electric Light Orchestra are among the giants from 1972-1986, forever forgotten by anyone who actually matters, ELO won't ever be enshrined in this joke Jann Wenner calls a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Jeff Lynne might make it solo as producer under their Non-Performer category, but I could never accept that!

I could see "Like A Prayer" more so than "Vogue". This often overlooked one should also receive serious consideration as well... The previous year, David Bowie had released his "Ashes to Ashes" music video which was considered as the most innovative to date at that time. But ELO were largely regarded to have surpassed that with their music video for "Hold on Tight". At the time it was the most expensive ever made at around £40,000 - Source: UK Midlands Central TV News, August, 1981, thanks Ade! It was filmed in black-and-white and pays homage to old serial films with ELO playing in the scenes.

They have home field and did so winning the AL East which is vastly superior in terms of competition to the AL Central. But in terms of this series Tigers have been the better team. It's tied 2-2 but really should be 3-1 Tigers.

If they are "forever forgotten by anyone who actually matters" then I guess they aren't that important to the history of rock n roll music as you think,

I disagree Paul. ELO is still pretty popular, several songs used in commercials, movies and tv shows. Classic hits formats and classic rock radio plays quite a few of their songs. Its just in the eyes of the halls commitee.
Then again, as great as their music is, they sucked live.

I'm sure I'd know stuff if someone told me the name of it or I heard it. But seems if anyone who matters forgot about them (posters thoughts not mine) they aren't as relevant as he claims....at least to me.

I don't think any of us were talking about the best videos ever made. We were just rambling about videos that MTV (and for a short second Rolling Stone) always put up there. As for this video, I have never seen it. It seems like a nice video but I don't think you can put it in the "Greatest Video of all Time" debate when I have literally seen Frankie and the Knockouts, "Sweetheart" more times than I have ever seen this video. And that's saying something about the impact of this video.

Regardless of what anyone says here, there is definitely one icon that hasn't been inducted into the R&R HoF and should be. His first name begins with a C & his last name begins with a K. Any takers on who that is? :-P
