i totally get some dude's point - saying "buzz bins were bought by record labels and given to already popular bands" doesn't contradict that the Cranberries already received and could expect plenty of MTV airtime by "Zombie" and most of the groups given buzz bin nods didn't.

that said, i've been accused of selective memory and long-held, judgment-clouding ilx beef by aero before, too, so i can't be trusted.

my typing is horribad today
some dude and aero are both otm in a way
i mean, clearly, that Buzz Bin was 80% "new artists" made to give the thing cred and 20% "alt-leaning already-popular things" so people had some reference point for why they were seeing the Eels on TV.
― ffun. (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 19:07 (twelve years ago) link
yeah, that 94 ad you posted has only two real mtv 'breakthrough' vids (weezer and dino jr), a follow-up to a hit (offspring) and a 'wtf they're already huge' way more absurd than the cranberries (beasties). so yeah, by "zombie" the brand had been diluted.

i'm not even sure that "feel the pain" was dino's first appearance in the buzz bin. for all i know that video where j snowboards briefly lived in the bin as well
― da croupier, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 19:12 (twelve years ago) link
clearly, that Buzz Bin was 80% "new artists"
I'm not even sure this is true of the options being polled

"Zombie" and to a lesser, Beavis-fueled extent "More Human Than Human" are the only songs on the comp I wouldn't pick as the band's buzz bin breakthrough, with respect to "Sex Type Thing".
― da croupier, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 19:20 (twelve years ago) link
actually I think I saw Cracker's "Happy Birthday To Me" a couple times after school, though "Low" definitely crossed over harder than that or "Teen Angst"
― da croupier, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 19:22 (twelve years ago) link
Cracker, Gin Blossoms, Danzig, the Cranberries - these were not "new" acts in any way

look at you, flaunting your hip by saying you knew the gin blossoms from way back
― da croupier, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 19:23 (twelve years ago) link
i was surprised later on to see that "Start Choppin'" had peaked higher on Billboard a year earlier than "Feel The Pain," since the latter seemed like a semi-big hit because of the video while i never really heard the former outside the parent album
― some dude, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 19:24 (twelve years ago) link
Shakey, we're talking about songs bands broke through on MTV with, that you and your hipster buds were jamming to Dusted years before is kind of irrelevant
― da croupier, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 19:25 (twelve years ago) link
just fyi I have never listened to the Gin Blossoms
― the sir edmund hillary of sitting through pauly shore films (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 19:36 (twelve years ago) link
but had you heard of them before "Hey Jealousy"?

def heard "Stop Choppin'" more often on college radio than "Feel the Pain"

there must be some difference between mtv and college radio, let me think real hard
― ffun. (Whiney G. Weingarten), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 19:55 (twelve years ago) link
The grunge pedal is only trumped by the death metal pedal which was specifically designed not to have a knob to turn the amount of distortion down from the "all of it all the time" setting
― Thu'um gang (jjjusten), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 19:56 (twelve years ago) link
Whiney hedged his bets by putting "new artists" in quotes, not sure what criteria is being used to designate "new" tbh
I have no memory of when I first became aware of the Gin Blossoms. It's possible it was earlier (Request Video - respeck knuckles) but I don't really remember.

This reminds me of when I heard and enjoyed "Hey Hey What Can I Say" on that Led Zep tribute album, Encomium and then rushed out to buy the Hootie and the Blowfish album. Um.
