I had a few videos catch my eye, and I fell down the rabbithole a bit.
Thing is, for the concept to work with me, I had to be watching folks react to videos/music I knew well, and it was neat to see them. Seeing them become new fans of something reminded me why I was a fan of something.
You also get some great comments. One that stuck out was a 20-something lady's reaction to a video (of course, now I can't remember which one). She said "Oh! Christina Aguilera does that vocal trill! I wonder if the lady singing learned it from her." when the track was recorded before Aguilera was even born.
I also got a kick out of one of them listening to a Def Leppard track, saying it was a great song, wondering why he'd never heard it before, and wondering if they (Def Leppard) were a one hit wonder or something.
