Back in the early to mid 80s, MTV was known as Music Television. There was no Real World, no Laguna Beach and no TRL. It was all about JJ Jackson,"I Want My MTV" and Duran Duran. So the question is who is your favorite early MTV artist from 1981-1985? If you want more early MTV stuff,go to groups.yahoo.com/group/Early_MTV_Years
Great question! I was born in 1981 so I did see the way MTV slowly deteriorated over the years. Do they even play music at ALL anymore?
Favorites from that time period…
U2 (well, at any time, but they were around in the early to mid 80s too!)
Duran Duran
The Police
Cyndi Lauper
Flock of Seagulls
Madonna
Huey Lewis and the News
A-ha
The Cars
I could probably go on and on!
"MTV" needs to sell their name to a company who will actually play MUSIC and rename themselves "useless dribble tv"!

Sorry I was born in 1985 too young to even know about MTV.

I think Van Halen had some excellent videos. My favorite was Hot for Teacher.
