watches VH1 Classic Channel and listen to all those great 80's tunes. Gosh, I've seen videos to songs I didn't even know had a music video for it.

I LOVE VH1 Classic. I saw the video for Send Me An Angel yesterday for the first time in years. I'm a little disappointed that they seem to run the same songs in rotation. I'm watching We Are the 80s episodes that I've already seen. But hey, it's better than nothing.

I know what you mean, But is great watching those "Old School" ( like my friends call them) videos. Just looking at the haircuts and clothing brings back memories...IT's AWESOME.

And what the hek is VH1 classic? Please explain?

Ronnie, my fellow poster, VH1 Classic is what MTV was 20 years ago...NON-STOP MUSIC VIDEOS! Good stuff, rare stuff, the best videos from the 60s, 70s and 80s. I was watching "We Are The 80s" this morning at midnight, and I saw some cool videos like "Digging Your Scene" by the Blow Monkeys and "Girl From Ipanema Goes To Greenland" by the B-52s.
A note on that B-52s song...it needs to be heard more often. To me, this is their best song, and it bites that you never hear it at weddings and dances, but you'll always hear "Love Shack" (the B-52s' worst song, if you ask me).
Sincerely,
John Kilduff...the Rock Steady Flamethrower

Part of John/RockSteady's post:

I agree. At first, "Love Shack" was OK to listen to for a while. But shortly afterwards, it got repetitive and tiresome.
"Love Shack" is one of the most often-requested songs to sing in karaoke bars.

Ronnie, If you have direct tv, you can order it ( about $1.10) per month, but every 3 months they give a free preview of the channel for a weekend.

I love VH1 Classis. It is now my favorite channel. We Are The 80's and Rock Fest and Metal Mania are great.
White Snake Rules!

I watch Much Music too here in Dallas. It's pretty good most of the time. Not too much classic videos though. I enjoyed the Black Crowes on the Live and Interactive thing.
