Remember when MTV played Music, especially those old cheesy videos?

[The Blowhard]

Looking back at MTV and the crappy videos they used to play..well, most of the music was OK, but many of the videos were awful!
For some reason, I can't get that Scandal video "Goodbye To You" and That Blondie video for "Rapture" out of my head. I know there are worse..anyone?

Band playing in a small room

and finally sicne its been played out all ready even though its kinda cool for fans to be apart but the Band playing with fans suronding them singging along is done unless its a concert video witch they dont do any more

but there are some good ones

POWER AND CHAOS

[Alice S. Fuzzybutt]

There were fewer videos back
then so it was always an
ecclectic mix:

Sister Christian (Night Ranger)
Electic Avenue (Eddie Grant)
Sweet Dreams (Eurythmics)
Twilight Zone (Golden Earring)
C'mon Eileen (Dexy's Midnight
Runners)
Stray Cat Strut (Stray Cats)

brain still foggy from bar
crawl. can't think of anymore!

-----
I wish I loved the human race;
I wish I loved its silly face;
I wish I liked the way it
walks; I wish I liked the way
it talks; And when I'm
intoduced to one; I wish I
thought, What jolly fun!

When MTV first came out, it seemed like every other video was a Rod Stewart. I never realized he had so many. He cornerd the market back then. Made me hate him even more seeing him all the time.

[Death Metal Moe]

How about that "Video Killed the Radio Star" video? Kinda describes the transition from Radio to Music Television.

I'm gonna make a video called "Real World and like a million other shitty shows Killed the Music Television"

And DON'T PAY FOR MTV2!!!!!! They took the music off MTV, and then expect you to pay for it on another station?! WRONG! Fight the power!

I remember the Missing Person's "Destination Unknown", Bow Wow Wow's "I Want Candy" and Nena's "99 Luft Ballons" got a lot of play in the early days. Oh, and we can't forget A Flock of Seagulls "I Ran".
