MTV puts ALL music videos online

In a move near and dear to my heart, MTV is putting their entire catalog of music videos online for users to watch or even embed in their own sites. Freakin' awesome!

MTV Music expands upon the music video offerings already posted to MTV.com by offering an entire back catalogue of videos that go all the way to when music videos were born. The library includes more than 16,000 videos, sprinkled with "exclusive" MTV concert footage and MTV "Unplugged" performances that used to be all the rage. And that's just the beginning. According to a blog post on MTV's Splash Page, more videos are being added by the day, so even if your favorite Paula Abdul selections haven't been posted yet, they probably will make it up eventually.

Judging from Today's most popular videos, including Dire Straights, Duran Duran, Talking Heads, the Buggles, and other classics, it looks like this is really speaking to the generation that misses the MUSIC and not the REAL WORLD and other reality nonsense.

Like YouTube, MTV Music allows users to not only watch videos on the site, but to also leave comment, give ratings, and embed the videos on their blogs or personal websites.

And now, for one of my favorite videos of all time:
