MTV 1981 vs MTV 2011
~~~~
Can you believe it’s been THIRTY years since MTV came onto the music scene? Anyone know the FIRST video they played?
Okay, but this isn’t a trivia post… *grin*
This past weekend they were celebrating thirty years of the station and I suddenly remembered a time when MTV actuallyplayedmusic…remember that?
So, with that statement, alone, you probably know where I stand on the vote, but I want to hear what you have to say.
Debate This…

MTV needs to change their name- they no longer play music that I’m aware of. It’s turned into reality tv and I hate it.

I was a mere infant when MTV launched, I’m a reality TV junkie AND I listen to country music pretty exclusively, so I voted for now. Looks like I’m in the minority though.
This is such a fun post… great idea!

No contest….MTV 1981! Do they even show videos anymore? I think it’s trash now, but that’s just my opinion. 🙂
Lynn Rush
Oh yeah. I’m with ya, Jill!!!!! It’s total trash now.

There is no debate because I don’t watch MTV 2011…it gives me a headache. Oh crap, I sound like an old fogie, don’t I?
*checks for wrinkles*
Lynn Rush
Did you find one? If you did, then I sure have them, too. I can’t stand MTV…back when they played music I thought it was pretty good, but not GREAT!

“Video Killed the Radio Star” was the first video MTV played. I *LOVED* MTV back in the day. I have no idea what happened to it, but when you stop playing music videos, it kinda deflates the whole idea of a video channel. Sigh.
Lynn Rush
You’re right!!!! Maybe it DID kill the Radio Star!!!
Lindsay
Okay, who voted and didn’t comment.
Anyway, I’m more of a CMTPure music kinda person than MTV now or then.
Lynn Rush
did they have CMTPure in the 80s ? When did that come up? CMT has always done well with sticking to music I think. 🙂
Lindsay
Yes, I think so. Or at least some type of country music station
