Before vlogs dominated the music review landscape, there existed two respected and biting music critics whose to-the-point analysis consisting of “this sucks” or “this rules” became the end all say all of who made it in the music biz. They were two AC/DC and Metallica loving metalheads known as… Beavis and Butt-Head. To celebrate their creator (and the creator of many other wonderful yet criminally underrated shows *cough* King of the Hill) Mike Judge’s recent 52nd birthday, I give you 20 cheesy pop music videos that had no business appearing on Beavis and Butt-Head.
