MTV Started 41 Years Ago

This can’t be correct because there’s no way I’m older than 41 :wink::joy:
There were so many great songs/ok videos in 81/82. We got to hear songs and see artists we would never have been exposed to on our local radio stations. It opened up whole new worlds of music.

I actually feel pretty good about myself instead of a geezer like I thought I was for the show I’m going to next Monday - loverboy, REO Speedwagon and Styx.

LOVE this song. All of theirs. They look so young!!!

I would have to say any of the Michael Jackson videos. Because of the dancing. It was so captivating.

My college roommates and I loved Adam Ant back in the day. Dressed like a pirate with eyeliner singing Goody Two Shoes and Stand and Deliver were favorites!

Madonna videos in the 80’s were like little movies. Material Girl and Papa Don’t Preach were ones I can think of. And remember she was dropped by Pepsi after her Like a Prayer video.

I loved all the early Duran Duran videos Hungry Like the Wolf, Rio and Girls on Film.

Wham Wake me Up Before you Go-Go always had us dancing in the living room.

I remember yelling “Thriller is on!!” and my brother would come running into our den to watch it.
