apologies.

Sam Goody is a big chain CD store, like HMV, but less cool.

i think they just went out of business, too.

hmm....well, a Sam Goody location in Madison, WI and one in Princeton, NJ both went out of business around the same time, with no replacement business yet, so i just inferred...

It says "Sorry, MTV Generation, I doubt you can handle this one", yet it has a question about The White Strokes or whoever the "kids these days" get over-exposed to.

Remember, once upon a time, MTV was "Music Television". I guess there are multiple MTV generations. I'm from the "MTV Generation" that had Martha Quinn, JJ Jackson, Adam Curry, and that white guy with the 'fro. No one here in Canada knows who these people are (MuchMusic didn't come along 'til years later, so good luck finding anyone who's seen an Adam and the Ants video, or something by Devo other than "Whip It" in Canada)

But I scored a John Cusack too!

I think my generation is one of the first to really stop caring about music television. I dunno what it is but there's this point where they stopped playing good music and started catering to bubblegum pop again. I'm pretty sure I have rose tinted spectacles on but music television was so much better in the 90s!

It's not just the selection of music that I object to, it's the LACK of it on these stations. MTV started having game shows in the late '80s, and that trend crept to Canada too. "Much More Music"(Canada's answer to VH1)shows even less music than "MuchMusic"... they seem to show more trashy entertainment gossip shows than anything else, along with pseudo-documentary shows on musical trends of the past that EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT ALREADY. I don't know how many times I've seen programs on that Seattle trend in the early '90s "that turned hair-metal bands like Poison into toxic waste".

At least in the early '90s, MuchMusic had their "Spotlight" series where they'd play videos by a particular artist for 30 mins, along with any archive clips they could find. They seemed to make a real effort to diversify the acts they covered then; it didn't have to be this week's big hit-maker.

I'm certainly not an expert on music
but I received the same result as you.

Wow... that must be the easiest music-snob quiz ever.
