Not every music fan who grew up in the ’80s and ’90s knew about it. But for those who did, “120 Minutes” was a weekly ritual.


The MTV alternative rock show was a Sunday night immersion in music
that wasn’t played on mainstream radio. It gave wide exposure to the
unusual, the offbeat and the downright iconoclastic, and earned a
dedicated following. The rest of the week was dedicated to Madonna and
Def Leppard; for fans of the Pixies, Hüsker Dü, Sonic Youth, My Bloody
Valentine and other alternative favorites, there were only those
precious two hours.
