    They are so right, that's why i stopped listening to the radio years ago and i found that i enjoy music even more, i don't think very much about genres anymore. I don't see why i can't listen to Kiss for a while and then move to Massive Attack and Sibelius or Max Richter later, it's nice to think for yourself.

      @@chrisbennett6260 I think it was combination of two things. MTV decided to add non music programming like The Real World and Beavis And Butthead and they became huge successes. This gave them the idea to keep trying to pump original shows until they eventually lost interest in music completely. But I also think it's one of the many, many things the Internet ruined. Once you could go online and watch any video you wanted anytime you wanted, sitting and waiting through commercial to see you favorite band seemed awfully quaint. CZcams killed the MTV star.

      India had never had a rock band play there, The Police were the first, and it would become Sting's most favorite gig ever at the time because the audience had never heard of them, by the end of the night, the place was rocking, people from all over Bombay came to watch, they all had an amazing night to remember
