I remember the first one I saw was "My Future So Bright I Got To Wear Shades."
I remember about the early 90's when they did that lame a** House Of Style with Cindy Crawford, I believe that was also a start of things going downhill!
At least MTV is still on the air. TNN-the country video station was bought out, then changed programming & now is a totally different channel all together.
Then you have CMT which is just as bad as MTV.
I heard GAC is good, but it is not available on my cable line-up.

I'm sure it's already included in one of these pages, but whenever I think about MTV, Robert Palmer comes to mind. My husband thought all those brunettes were hot (they're his type).

Default Can You Remember your First Music Video?

They way that you always remember your first time....
and I was wondering which music video was your first...(and I mean ACTUAL music video) not live performance of band playing (or pretending to play a tune) on American Bandstand or something like that...I mean real budgeted as Music Video...
Was it a music video that had a GREAT impression on you?
Or was there a later one that just BLEW YOUR MIND?

I remember seeing David Bowie's Ashes to Ashes when I was 10 years old, and frankly, it thrilled and scared the crap outta me! It began my off kilter music preferences for life!

Due to the massive amount of crappy live clips on You Tube I can't find the actual video,but this was one of the first metal songs I heard on tv.
And it was on a childrens show.

YouTube - Judas Priest - The Hellion/Electric Eye Live '82
