Hello,
On August 1st, 1981 MTV played The Buggles "Video Killed the Radio Star" and the music industry was forever changed. Some would argue for the worst, but I think it was for the best. I spent many a hour watching MTV back in the day. I know it's hard to believe now but hey really did play videos 24 hours a day. With YouTube and so many other options one can watch most videos any time they want. But back in 1981 watching a video was pretty damn cool.
These are the best rock, pop, soul and new wave songs of 1981. I love listening to these old songs once again.
