Thank goodness for VH-1 Classic. Nowadays, "music" channels are hardly that at all. Every so often they play one of the newest music videos, but other than that it's all horrible "reality" shows.

VH-1 Classic, ironically, is a breath of fresh air. Hours every day are devoted to the classic music video of the 70s, 80s, and early 90s. When they're not playing a music video, it's classic music-related movies, or shows that involve the great music of old. I just hope that they don't go the way of all the other music channels.

    Ha! That's what I always say, "Thank God for VH1 Classic!"

    I feel the same way. VH1 Classic is great. They have excellent programming. Everything about it I LOVE!!!

        I was absolutely hooked on VH1 Classic when I first discovered it, but I haven't watched it in a while. I still turn it on whenever I fly home on JetBlue.

              The Alternative is good sometimes. They get in a rut of playing these soft rock Cure impressionists sometimes though, and I just can't take it. But every once in a while I'll see a Gwar video or something and it redeems itself.

                Yeah, it's certainly got it's flaws, but even in the 80s VH-1 and MTV had too.

                  Too bad I don't have this channel, it sounds cool.

                    Don't forget that they also show classic Pop-Up Video!

                    While VH-1 Classic plays much more music than MTV or the regular VH-1, it has a tendency to drift into non-music shows every now and then. Case in point: Hip Hop Honors, Bands Reunited (more of a reality show than straight-up music) and movies like Footloose and Jacksons: An American Dream.

                    Still a good channel though.

                      I don't have this channel, but from what I've seen, its good. I hope it doesn't go the same route as MTV 2. Remember when MTV 2 used to show videos 24/7?
