It's OK to click on the link everyone - that's my own personal blog. It has links to my favorite videos from early MTV, as well as a short essay that I wrote.

Great list grundle! All classic early MTV videos.

The videos that I immediately thought of without thinking are:

The Cars - Since You're Gone
Blondie - Heart of Glass
Rolling Stones - Waiting On A Friend
Joe Jackson - Steppin' Out
Human League - Fascination

Oh, there are so many. Do they even make videos anymore?

Yes, they still make videos.

Back in the late 1970s, a few years before MTV began, Blondie made videos for a huge number of their songs.

That Stones video is one of the best.

Great list grundle, 1980's Mtv is another obession of mine, over the years I've collected hundreds of hours of unedited Mtv footage. It's such a blast sharing these with family and friends. Even the commercials were entertaining too. :D

I still think the black and white video of Every Breath You Take by the Police is a masterpiece..............
