Remebering when MTV was great part 1
Ok you music lovers out there remember when MTV first launched on Television, remember when MTV was great pure video's and music ?
MTV launched on August 1st 1981 with it's great Veejay's (video jockeys) Nina Blackwood, Mark Goodman, Alan Hunter, J.J. Jackson and Martha Quinn the revolution of music & televison 24/7.
The brillant lil MTV commercials remember those the commercials for MTV what little gems in themselves.
I miss the early years & the fantastic video's. MTV was brillant!
Here are some early vids from MTV that I recall off the top of my head. The first video on MTV was "Video killed the radio star" by The Buggles. The lyrics are brillant. I watched it and was in awe. MTV is ok now but they seemed to have lost the magic of the early years in my opinion. Have a MTV video request just ask I'll attempt to find it.
