Bands you wish for MTV Unplugged

Seriously MTV is not as what it used to be like and it's been awhile since we had an MTV Unplugged show featuring rock bands. When was the last time? I can't remember.

If they're gonna revive the show my pick is Foo Fighters. Also not to mention Godsmack, and Radiohead.

If they could do Dashboard Confessionals, why in the hell couldn't they do bands better than that?

    I doubt MTV would give them the licence to perform because most people would say who the fuck is Wilco? A chocolate drink?

    But Wilco is an average band and I like a few songs from them.

    Yeah well, I wasn't going for realistic. Most of the bands MTV viewers are familiar with suck.

    Average? Pfft.

    My immediate thought was also Wilco.

    I tried to type up something insighful as to why Wilco is anything but average, but my words couldn't do them justice. So I'll just put it simply: Call Wilco okay, boring, annoying, pretentious or simply not you're style - but I can't see anything average about this band.






    . . . And I'd like to see PJ Harvey play MTV Unplugged.

    Flaming Lips - Their stuff sounds really good stripped down. Be nice to see them play the songs away from the spectacle.
    "You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.

    The wind is blowing cold
    Have we lost our way tonight?
    Have we lost our hope to sorrow?

    Feels like were all alone
    Running further from what’s right
    And there are no more heroes to follow

    So what are we becoming?
    Where did we go wrong?

    I was just going to post NIN. Trent and piano. Maybe strings. He does some amazing things when acoustic.

    if godsmack did it that would be the icing on the cake to their quest to be exactly like alice in chains only much shittier.

    who cares about MTV unplugged?

    who cares about anything MTV has done in the last 12 or so years?

    i would say my morning jacket but then i think to myself.....these guys kick too much ass plugged in...but damn i love that band. either way it would sound great. foo fighters would be good too i suppose. i'd love to hear radiohead......anyway to the people who are saying be realistic about this and who they would have perform, i don't understand what the point of this thread is if you have to conform to that because pretty much all the bands that mtv would have perform would suck. I wouldn't even want to see U2. they had their time and people love them...whatever....i'm so sick of seeing those guys on tv and hearing about how bono is gonna change the world. their new stuff isn't even that great....they've been pumping out music like they're rappers lately.

    We did not change as we grew older; we just became more clearly ourselves.
