Now, when I do happen to fall on that channel, reality shows are always playing. Even VH1 is all about celebrity gossip, and less about music. The question is not U2 is still relevant, but is MTV still relevant? I don't think it is as there are many music channels if you have satellite that cater to different music styles (and only play music videos).

Well, maybe next year U2 will be always on on MTV :D And once, on the MTV Top 10 - Genuises, guess who was number one???!! Yep! It's U2!! :D I never liked MTV, and I’m of today’s MTV generation, I’m 14, and I don’t watch MTV, that’s why my tv is always on VH1, that one plays good music – not the music of today, VH1 plays today’s good songs, and alot of the old classic hits, which afterall will remain the greatest songs ever.
