Amazing - MTV Homage Day 4

New Edition and New Kids on the Block arrived on the scene about the same time as MTV, or after the music video station had already become engrained in pop culture. Other Boston bands had been around a lot longer than the music television station. Aerosmith found new success in a younger market when they released Get A Grip. It surged in radio play and with the wild popularity of the music videos. Crazy, Amazing, and Cryin, three videos made from singles off that album, starred Alicia Silverstone (before she was Clueless). They may have been the first set of videos that we remember being overplayed on MTV. But we haven't seen them for a while, until today. We'll wrap up this homage to twenty-five years of MTV by dropping Aerosmith's Amazing below. Be on the look out for the CD caddy used and when the screen flashes "cyberspace entered," young geeks at home wishing their VR set up was that, um, amazing. If you're in the mood for some ass-kicking Alicia watch Cryin. For hot schoolgirl Silverstone check out Crazy.
