I decided to break my Mega 80's music blog into many different categories, I won't change my original Mega 80's music blog though. I enjoy making these kind of blogs and I hope you enjoy them too. As always I welcome all comments, both negative and positive. All you have to do is to leave a comment on any post and I see it almost immediately. I also take requests, although they may not make it on to the blog.
Remember if for some reason you can't watch a video on this blog, please enjoy it on Youtube.com, MTV.com or wherever else you can. It would be a shame not to enjoy the greatest music of all-time. The inspiration for these blogs comes from Spotify 80's radio, SongPop game on Facebook, Youtube, my iPod and my own faulty memory.
Public Enemy's "Bring The Noise":
The first video ever shown on MTV (back when MTV was relevant). The Buggles "Video Killed The Radio Star":
This video is a nod to the past, but also one of the first videos exploring what could be done with the full potential of videos. Madonna's "Express Yourself":
Michael Jackson and his team were also very proficient at taking the basic music video and turning it into more than the sum of it's parts. I realize this video looks dated now, but it was revolutionary when it first showed up on MTV. "Billie Jean":
An incredibly creative video, A-ha's "Take On Me":
Talking Heads "Once In A Lifetime":
This was a mix of two genres that some people didn't think went together, however those people were wrong. Also Run-D.M.C. was one of the best and most influential rap bands, they helped break rap into mainstream. Run-D.M.C. and Aerosmith "Walk This Way":
Run-D.M.C.'s "Peter Piper":
Allegedly the first Top 40 hit featuring someone rapping, in this case Debbie Harry. Blondie's "Rapture":
Is this the first popular Heavy Metal song? Quiet Riot's "Cum On Feel The Noize":
Lady Gaga, Britney Spears..... Just how many people copied Madonna's style? What I don't get is since they copied her, why isn't their music as good. And I love this song so much "Papa Don't Preach":
