I hate MTV too. In fact, I hate the VMA´s because they always give awards to the most popular artists when there a lot of bands that make better videos like Rammstein but I do like The Vines .

It just furthers my theory that music sucks these days. Is ANYONE going to remember these "bands" in a few years?

I watched it in the uk and I thought it was great. Avril Lavigne is new to us to the uk and I think she's good. I like her song too.
Eminem's and Justin Performance were great. I don't have a problem with rap and hip hop because I'm into that kind of music.
Who that prsenter? is he a film actor or tv star? he was very funny doing Eminem and Enrique Iglesias.

I'm trying to figure out where you pulled "military father" and "Barry Manilow" from, Jeremy, and I'm not finding it.

I watched part of the VMAs. I particularly liked Jimmy Fallon's making fun of nominated songs. He was right on the money with the Eminem parody: "This looks like a job for me. So everybody just follow me 'cos this is your one chance to see some music played on MTV." MTV hardly ever actually shows good music videos anymore. That's why I switched to Much Music USA. There were some highlights, I thought of the VMAs. I was really happy No Doubt won awards for their "Hey Baby" video. Did anyone see the member of Nstink who looked like he was gonna cry when they didn't win the award for best pop video? Me and my sister were cracking up. I was very happy Linkin Park took the best rock video award, but I wouldv'e liked to see POD take home an award. Go Dashboard Confessional! I love emo and they're number one in my book! Norah Jones would've been a good choice too. I like Avril Lavigne (Don't shoot me!). Her "Sk8er Boi" video never fails to put a smile on my face and while her music is pop-punk, it's too angsty to be little kiddish (well, her other songs are angsty). I turned off the TV after Linkin Park won their award, but I was happy Michelle won the people's choice. I'm big on chick rock and I don't think she's just another girl who had a guitar stuck into her arms for a video. She is stuck-up, but I can identify with her lyrics. And she obviously cares about her music. Did anyone see how she acted when she thought they broke her guitar? Anyways, I didn't see anything else, besides the Vines' performance. But what I saw, I was pleased by. Except that I think Ashanti should've won for her video "Foolish."

Linkin Park? What have they done in the last two years, other than be a one-hit-wonder?

So Eminem antagonized Moby for no real reason during the show, I hear. Personally I'll cheer and laugh till it hurts, the day I hear that Moby has hauled off and knocked Marshal Mathers onto his butt. Assuming Moby ever DOES punch him, that is.
Seriously, I think what's actually happening is the two of them are teamed up. Eminem gets bad boy publicity, Moby gets a mature and patient image promoted.

My three categories of bands.
1. Entertainers. They don't play their own instruments, don't write their own songs, and in most cases, don't sing their own concerts. See: Brittney Spears, and any boy band
2. Musicians. Bands who write their own music and/or play their own instruments. There are two sub-categories - good musicians and bad musicians. Creed, Nickelback, the entire hip-hop culture, and manufactured bands fall in this category. U2, Barenaked Ladies, Dave Matthews Band, some R&B, and most oldies fall in this group. They write good music and play their own instruments well.
3. Artists. These are the legends of music. Timeless, one might call them. Santana, Grateful Dead, The Rolling Stones - bands that have withstood the test of time and have had their songs ingrained into musical consciousness. Everybody knows who these people are.
