(Finished October 1st, 2025) Part 5 of The Most MTVish Videos of The Early MTV Days: 1966ish-1986

Hello,

Let's go back to the early days of MTV and some of the most MTVish videos of the early days of MTV and pre-MTV. These videos came out between 1966ish to 1986. We'll go back a bit further to 1966 before anyone knew what music videos were and couldn't imagine a television station like MTV. some people who saw far into the future were making videos- or whatever word they used- to go with their songs. I loved MTV so much, especially the early days. It was so cool to see what these musicians looked like and learn more about that them. And as the kids would say these are all bangers!!

This will include videos from before MTV's debut. I had so much fun listening to all of these great songs again, it took me back to the hot summers of the 80s. I've updated this blog series to include the years of 1966-1975 and 1986.
