Aerosmith's "Livin' On The Edge" is much better (song & video) than the Alicia Silverstone trilogy, IMHO  


Also "Three Little Pigs" from Green Jelly, which I find amusing  


Normally, I don't post screen grabs for the video countdowns, but included "I Got You Babe" featuring Cher with Beavis & Butt-head (also the Green Jelly video)

Interesting since Meatloaf's comeback is placed at #11 and also UB40 & even Duran Duran, which was a staple of early MTV, among the Top 25... Especially since the list is mostly R&B, rap, and alternative, which dominated the channel along with 95% non-music programming. 


Honestly, like MTV's 1994 list, only like a few songs and music videos. Only like a few alternative songs/artists and not too big on gangsta rap. Though "Nothing But A 'G' Thang" from Dr. Dre  is tolerable. 


"Beavis & Butt-Head" made it's debut during the Spring of that year, which was spunned-off from two shorts from  "Liquid Television".
