MTV2's 22 Greatest CDs

[Documad]

I just watched this show (it was originally broadcast in 2003). It reflected the "greatest" CDs from the start of MTV till then. I believe that MTV made a list and then viewers voted online. Here it is:

22: Garbage - - Garbage
21: Throwing Copper - - Live
20: The Colour and the Shape - - Foo Fighters
19: Rhythm Nation 1814 - - Janet Jackson
18: Pretty Hate Machine - - Nine Inch Nails
17: Tragic Kingdom - - No Doubt
16: Rage Against the Machine - - Rage Against the Machine
15: CrazySexyCool - - TLC
14: OK Computer - - Radiohead
13: The Chronic - - Dre
12: Born in the U.S.A. - - Bruce Springsteen
11: Paul's Botique - - Beastie Boys
10: Hybrid Theory - - Linkin Park
9: The Marshall Mathers LP - - Eminem
8: Ten - - Pearl Jam
7: The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill - - Lauryn Hill
6: Blood Sugar Sex Magik - - Red Hot Chili Peppers
5: The Joshua Tree - - U2
4: Metallica - - Metallica
3: Appetite for Destruction - - GNR
2: Nevermind - - Nirvana
1: Jagged Little Pill - - Alanis Morissette

Here's my question: How is it that I've never heard of Live or this Throwing Copper CD?

[Lyman Zerga]

alanis morissette? eat shit

seen worse lists though

[Parkey]

That is a fucking disgraceful list. Disgraceful.

[hpdrifter]

How is Alanis at number 1? I dislike that album immensely and no way does it go over Nevermind.

[Parkey]

I thought MTV2 was dull in the UK, but it must be unbearable over there.

[TAL]

I have 6 of those.

[b-grrrlie]

I have ten.

Now there's something to ponder... Never liked Alannis.

I saw Live once at this showcase. Some of the worst crap I've seen. Midnight Oil - wanna-bees...

[Parkey]

Christ, I have 8 of those. I need to clean myself.

[Lyman Zerga]

from that list i still have 4 and had 5 others but they were too shit to keep

[bigblu89]

16: Rage Against the Machine - - Rage Against the Machine
13: The Chronic - - Dre
11: Paul's Botique - - Beastie Boys
8: Ten - - Pearl Jam
6: Blood Sugar Sex Magik - - Red Hot Chili Peppers
4: Metallica - - Metallica
3: Appetite for Destruction - - GNR

Those are the one's I have.

I don't care what anyone says, Appetite for Destruction I the greatest Rock N Roll album to come out in the past 25 years.

[kleptomaniac]

hell yeah, paul's boh-TEEK! :cool:(y)(y)

[adam_f]

How did Linkin Park wind up on this list?

[TurdBerglar]

because it's MTV?

[adam_f]

I'm kinda disappointed they don't have Lou Bega on here.

[trailerprincess]

I have that Live album and still listen to it on a semi-regular basis.

But I only have 2 of the others

Here's my question: How is it that I've never heard of Live or this Throwing Copper CD?

live had this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=kHnGWX0kYgc) song, but that's the only one i can think of. i thought they were a one hit wonder.

[yeahwho]

What no "Men Without Hats"? :mad: Total Bullshit!

live had this (http://youtube.com/watch?v=kHnGWX0kYgc) song, but that's the only one i can think of. i thought they were a one hit wonder.

That video just about sums up all the reasons why I never, ever watch MTV1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10....all the way through to VH153.

That list of MTV2's 22 Greatest CD's pretty much wraps up any other reason.

[Documad]

It's an old list. I own 18 of those CDs (two in vinyl too). I'm highly suspicious of the list, because MTV clearly makes up the 2 minute clips for each one before the fans vote. If people voted today, no way would Alanis win.

Anyhow, I've never heard of that band Live or their CD. The CD apparently sold 8 million copies. I wouldn't have been listening to top 40 when it was released, but I did watch MTV occassionally throughout the 1990s. It's a mystery to me.

Bob, that song sounds vaguely familiar.

P.S. I did a cut and paste. I didn't personally misspell the name of the Beasties' CD. :rolleyes:

[Mr Films]

MTV titles their lists wrong.

should be "22 really fucking commercially successful albums"

[DroppinScience]

Somebody should make a music list of "Lists that people are actually happy with."

That'd be the shortest list ever.

[icy manipulator]

I have ten.

They were a big deal in the US in the late 1980s. We had quite a few earnest bands that did well. I think U2 opened the door to all of them. The Beds are Burning video was played on the original MTV all the time. I'll bet that a huge chunk of my friends who are my age only know about aboriginal people because of that video.

I bought their albums, but they were too earnest for me. I remember when the lead singer was on a national radio show years ago after he ran for office. I remember that people back then were saying that Bono should also run for office if he was so big on politics.

how in the world can you not know midnight oil!
