I remember when MTV first came on, and I mean the very first day. I got home early and turned on the TV (my cable TV bill was $10/mo) and at noon a usually blank channel came on and the music video, Video Killed The Radio Star, came on and MTV was born.
I tend to agree with you that the quality of music went down on a very steep decline after that.
Ok, but what about “Rock the Casaba?”
That song was so politically incorrect and the video was also. I loved it!
