(Finished (Again) June 6th, 2025) Part 2 of The Most MTVish Videos of The Early MTV Days: 1976ish-1985

Hello,

I made several mistakes on this blog when I originally published it. I have fixed those mistakes and made this post better for it.

Let's go back to the early days of MTV and some of the most MTVish videos of those early days from 1981-1985. 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.
