Pretty crazy seeing Suicidal Tendencies, Cro-Mags and MTV talking about the first single off of the Sonic Youth's Sister album. I was 5 years old when this aired and Sonic Youth was my favorite band and I had that album 7 years later.

Weird thing is the song/video from Sister they are teasing is Shadow of a Doubt from Evol. I wonder what the story is there?

@SteveTheDiva Жыл бұрын
This was 1987, but, wow, MTV playing the Cro-mags, Balaam & The Angel, and some indie band called Ups & Downs is why the channel was so great at the time. By 1988, 120 Minutes had become almost too formulaic, but for a moment there was hope for the little bands.

1991 was when 120 Mins became hopelessly mainstream. I'd have to stay up for the last 4 vids,which were the actual indie underground bands.1989-1991 were good yrs,w Kevin Seal and Dave.

That's so silly. If you watch episodes from 1995-96, the vast majority of them aren't videos played during the day by big mainstream bands at all. @@E.C.2

This was pretty radical for 1986 even though MTV interspersed ALT/college radio/UK Pop/underground bands in with mainstream artists pretty regularly. IRS Records "The Cutting Edge" had done a good job of introducing unknown bands throughout the 1980s.

Thanks for posting! Never missed 120 Minutes in the mid-80's, used to record them on my Betamax! The show was quite a bit more diverse in this era than what it became by the 90's, they would play hardcore and industrial videos! I.R.S. Record's "The Cutting Edge" was also a worthwhile show MTV used to air in the mid-80's.

@@hardnheavy9529 I wish I had all my old Betamax tapes! I typically recorded over 120 Minutes episodes after I watched them due to a lack of tapes, but I saved many many tapes full of Night Flight episodes on the USA Network. Sadly, I do not have any of them today (nor would I have a machine to play them on, even though Beta was a far superior format to VHS IMO). I do not recall Jude Cole.

They were definitely still playing stuff like that in the 90s, too, because that's when i begun watching it and i remember all kinds of "alternative" music, even though i guess some of it was probably better suited for the aptly titled "Alternative Nation" but there was plenty of crossover.
