    I remember when MTV debuted but we didn't have cable so no MTV for me so I never got hooked, then I got old and it got stupid.

    Oh, Simon Le Bon, how I miss seeing you crawl around the jungle singing "Hungry Like the Wolf".

    I don't remember back that far to when MTV started as I was just a baby...however, through the 90's I loved my music videos. In Canada we had MuchMusic... Now though both stations play nothing but stupid shows....

    MTV now stands for Maternity TV, not music...

    Sad. I really REALLY would LOVE to have music videos/music based shows (Say What Karaoke, anyone?)

    Pat Benatar, The Police, Dire Straits. I used to love watching videos for hours on end after school. Now all they have is pregnant teenagers and those idiots from Jersey Shore! Pathetic!

    I remember thinking at the time that MTV and CNN 24 hour news was the greatest advents of my generation. now I feel that MTV and the 24 hour news cycle are the bane of modern existence. Curse you double edged sword that is life!!!


    of course dinosaurs don't roam the earth like when I was a kid either anymore .... the world changes and moves on. :tongue:

    oh yeah - Headbangers Ball - that's how we spent our saturday nights! 12 of us sitting around in front of a TV thinking we were the coolest things on earth with our Bon Jovi hair listening to them sing Runaway - oh and Whitesnake - they were my fave!!!

    Video Killed the Radio Star.

    I remember the debut video - I watched it. I remember when they actually played nothing but music videos and had VJs.
    You beat me to it, and Pat Benatar was the second video.
