Totally agree with you linkinpark875.
Saw yesterday first great countdown that they made ( usually nirvana-smells like... is no 1 in any countdown)
yesterday in
MTV's 50 All Stars Of Rock
videos were really good choosen,

This what I remember that was in countdown that I haven't seen on any MTV channel for years!:
13 was Metallica- played "The Memory Remains"
12 was Smashing Pumpkins-"Ava Adore"
Also in their slot "wake up with rocks" they played:
Vance Joy-"Riptide" - great video btw.
and in night slot "All Night Session" You can catch great alternative tracks and nice rare videos.
Reminds me of very missed MTV|2
MTV Rocks really did improve, they have bombay bicycle club-"luna" in their playlist also new from Half Moon Run-"Full Circle"

after their amazing video "Call me in the afternoon"
Also noticed that their web site has some refresh:

Love to see this changes on MTV channels

waiting for VH1 refresh in 1st Feb. (hopefully)

However they have rock countdowns, indie vs rock and chart indie.
They have late night rock shows on the schedule. It's by far the best I've seen the channel in a long time. Whoever is scheduling it is doing a fantastic job.
I don't mind channels like MTV being the last pay channels when they do a better job than Bauer who axed Q, CSC who pulled NME aswell. Indie and rock music still makes up a good 1/3'd of the UK charts with R&B/Dance and Pop filling the rest. I'm amazed there's not more rock channels as there's plenty of bands and many of them popular..... MTV is covering that well.”
