glencar VH1Classic has been replaying the first day of MTV from 25 years ago. They apparently didn't ahve much to choose from back on the day. Lotsa Rod Stewart(Foolish Behavior album), REO Speedwagon & crappy Styx.

glencar Back in the day, MTV ruled. Yes, it's been crappy for at least 20 years but it had its moment.

well theyd no black artists for the first couple of years! I guess they overlooked that in their 'celebration'

glencar They had a couple of blacks in some videos.

texile i admit watching and being mesmerised as an adolescent by the novelty of sitting there in front of the tv until i couldn't keep my open anymore...
but it was always slightly depressing to me....
rocks stars started thinking there were more than rock stars and most made asses of themselves.

Left Shoe Shuffle No doubt a lot of fond reminiscing about the days when MTV actually played music...

Maybe to begin with, but it did get to a stage where black artists were invisible. They wouldnt play "Billie Jean" (or was it "Beat it") until Epic threatened to withdraw permission to play any of the artists on their roster in protest over their 'policy'

Soldatti MTV sucks since the early 90's

Highwire Rob Crikey! Makes me feel ancient. I was going to school in England then--5th form--and I remember some of my friends mentioning it.

Like most, my family only had BBC1, BBC2, and ITV. Oh yeah, and that Atari pong system! We came back to the States just before the debut Channel 4.

Help me out here...

So what the hell were some of my English schoolmates watching it on then? I suppose it was those big-ass (pre-scrambling) dishes? ...I never got invited to those houses.

When my folks finally did get set up with Dish Network in the U.S. (we live in the boonies), MTV no longer regularly showed videos. Man, that sucks!

I tell ya, some of us are deprived in this world. And some people get money for nothin' and their chicks for free!

Channel 4 started in the UK in November 1982

Sky Television didnt launch until early 1989 (which is when I first got MTV Europe), but there may have been some areas with cable access who may have been able to get MTV Europe prior to that. I'm not sure when MTV was launched in Europe.

6 years after US MTV started, so 1987 (20 years celebrations next year!! Yay! lol). In Holland I remember watching MTV for the first time in my aunt's house in the larger city in 1989 also. In my small home town where I lived back then, they didn't include the station in the list until 1990 or 1991 I believe.

God bless them for that, at least. And not just because the two of them hated Bon Jovi either.

Did Styx suck or what? For a city so large, Chicago has produced very little in terms of good rock & roll.

Also lotsa Pat Benatar, Who (Face Dances), Split Enz, and some forgotten band named "Shoes".
