Saturday Night Live
Sure, comedy sketches are the first thing we think of when SNL is mentioned – and there is a reason for that. However, we cannot overlook the fact that SNL highlights music regularly. From U2 to Beck to Dave Grohl to Frank Zappa – these music icons have graced the show.
Austin City Limits
Great music. No limits.
This music TV is one of the longest running in its genre, and it has featured so many music icons as well. ACL has been given the rock and roll landmark distinction by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, and it has also been given the honor of receiving the National Medal of Arts.
MTV Unplugged
Some music enthusiasts may not recommend MTV Unplugged, but how can you not draw inspiration from a show that has produced excellent albums from the likes of Kurt Cobain, Eric Clapton, and Alanis Morissette – just to name a few. The show continues to feature contemporary acts like Florence + the Machine, Train, and 30 Seconds to Mars.
