I evaluate any band on their best work, basically.

So, you like Europe?  Los del Rio? A-ha? Tony Basil?

I'm not sure if you're being harsh to Europe and Aha or you actually like Los del Rio.

In 1983, it was Def Leppard's Pyromania that kept hard rock at the top of the MTV rotation, when it was drowning in Michael Jacksonian squalor; they were one of the hard rock bands that intentionally edged itself into MTV..

You've got it backwards.  MTV has never hostile to hard rock.  Bringing on the Heartbreak was in heavy rotation from the very beginning.
It was Michael Jackson who had to break through the notorious MTV color line.

I wasn't arguing whether they were hostile or not, my argument was that the mantle of hard rock was carried by more traditional non-hair bands in the early years, well before Crüe.

When I watched MTV I saw nothing but Motels and Tom Petty videos.

I googled one "hit wonder" and this is what I got, so presumably, they did something good at some point

Ah, so you went with a false assumption that popularity somehow equates to quality.

I have trouble believing a North American over 30 is unfamiliar with Macarena.

[The Brain]

Over 30 what? IQ? Stone?

Post-count on languish.

Trump would promise to re-negotiate trade deals to protect grim reaper jobs.

Nah, he is doing that through health care reform. 

[Malthus]

Nah, he is doing that through health care reform. 

Let's hope he doesn't "trump" his efforts in that direction, with his performance in his Middle East tour.
