I think the main reason that rock and metal have excited the mainstream seen so much is because history is slowly repeating itself in the music industry. Todays youth have become fascinated with the style of classic rock. You notice a lot of younger kids wearing Zeppelin shirts around or wearing tight bell bottom jeans... long hair... they really embrace that culture right now. I think that's where you get bands like Wolfmother... in the top 100 because they are really appealing to that niche market... that just so happens to be the "hot" thing right now.

VH1 Classic, MTV2, and MTVU (mtv university... you only get it on college campuses pretty much...) are the ones that I watch. I hate MTV with a passion. MTV2 shows a lot of rock and older stuff like Beavis and Butthead and Headbangers ball...
