Who were some of B+B's favorite bands?

Pantera always seemed to be very well-received by them.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers...for most part.

And so, God came forth and proclaimed widescreen is the best.
Sony 16:9

Winger... obviously huge closet cases about their fandom.

Gwar, Butthole Surfers, Snoop Dog, Dr. Dre and Run DMC off the top of my head.

Iron Maiden

I seem to remember them really enjoying Alice In Chains

Mike Judge said in an interview that he tried to give B&B open minds about new music, hence they tended to enjoy rap and gangster style stuff because Judge thought kids where heading in that direction. To some extent, he was right.

Butthead didn't particularly like Metallica. I remember 2 or 3 Metallica videos and most of the time Butthead would put the band down, pissing off Beavis.

They tended to enjoy Alice Cooper, they never really bad mouthed him at all.

They pissed me off once by saying, "Damn it, if this is those Warrant wusses" but I can forgive them for that, that band did get type cast as only being known for the one song. But the rest of there stuff is very underated.

They hated Winger. Hence why Stuart wore that on his shirt.

However, for the majority of clips. They where mostly clips MTV probably played one time, and where asked if Mike would do B&B to them to make fun of how bad they where. That's why a lot of the clips came up from artists you had not heard of before. Then they would chuck in some you did know to throw you off the track that a majority of them where crap that wouldn't have surfaced again if it werent for B&B's commentary.... well, no one thought youtube would come along years later back then. However, on reruns, quite alot of the unknown crap was switched for more popular bands. Then you'd end up seeing an episode, and think, "wait, they didn't review that clip last time i saw this episode"... it got annoying at one point when I watched 3 episodes once that had the same video clip in it. It was that clip to Bjork on the back of a truck or whatever. I don't think it originally aired during the Cornholio episode, but it was there the second time, and then during the next two episodes I watched.

Also these edits where done on Australian broadcasts, not on MTV. So I don't know if someone was having fun mixing songs up during the show, or if perhaps international broadcasts where mashed up a bit and somehow the original recording tapes where broadcast too? Who knows, but it happened.
