For a moment, remember fondly the days when MTV used to play music videos. I don’t mean a 10 second snippet of a music video during the credits of a reality show. I mean a real, bona fide, full-scale music video. The kind that last a whopping four or five minutes.
Even though the art of the music video seems lost these days, at least MTV still pays tribute to talented up-and-comers with its series, MTV Unplugged, which continues online.
Gibson.com recently named its Top 10 MTV Unplugged performances, and here they are! What are yours?
