Aykroyd nailed the Snyder parody.

I had forgotten all about the Kirschner parodies!

You just blew my mind.

"There’s more to the history of the TV Christmas special than just The Island Of Misfit Toys and The Gospel according to Peanuts." 
Historically, perhaps. As far as essentials (in a Gateways to Geekery/"Where to Start") — not really.

It's Cyclical.

I would put "Move Like This" by The Cars on a list – perhaps not Top 25, but List of Pleasant Surprises.

I'm going to guess, six months from now (maybe even a year) "The Whole Love" will strike you differently.

"Twelve Days of Christmas" is hard to beat for awfulness.

Not a bad assessment.

Shameless blog plug, but "Porpoise" seemed like the perfect kickoff to an MTV anniversary kickoff. (And it's music flaws probably didn't hurt)

Power pop (or its descendants) will grace the pop scene again, in some form. It's cyclical.

It's unfairly overrated, but "understandably" overrated.

Monkees & Beatles definitely not comparable as far as overall impact, influence and hugeness.

But the top 40 has long had shit-that-passes-for-music. It's just the way it goes.

Never noticed those glitches — but the only one I remember hearing that wasn't online (and possibly flawed) was a cassette tape of my friend's Head soundtrack. And that was a long time ago.

Kinda.

Intriguing.

Never mind the furthermore the plea is self-defense.

What percentage of (even geeky) rock music fans have actually watched 7 rock documentaries total?

Lobsters may be right in general, but "The Grungies" skit was inspired. And Mickey Dolenz was in it, for chrissakes!
