While mom got cable sometime around 1983 or so, we either didn't have MTV or weren't allowed to watch it (I can't recall) so anything we saw was at my dad's when we'd visit him on weekends: Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" and "Every Breath You Take" from the Police were taped and we watched over and over.<BR/><BR/>And I loooooooved Daria, and especially Beevis and Butthead...even saw the movie.

I remember having these cool little MTV buttons that the cable company as giving out and I had a whole collection. I remember being in my Duran Duran craze then, and "Save A Prayer" was my favorite video. I still love it today! I remember the video for INXS's "The One Thing" too.<BR/><BR/>I agree MTV now is total crap, but I recall great shows like Liner Notes, which came on late on Saturday night and had interviews and performances with my favorite bands.Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16726796954968328204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-2329908902944625662008-09-20T20:48:00.000-05:002008-09-20T20:48:00.000-05:00I loved Remote Control.

I didn't have cable either, but would stay up all night at friends houses watching Madonna, Boy George, and Michael Jackson videos. <BR/>It's funny, because it was the real world etc. that got us complaining in college about what crap MTV was turning out to be. We wanted our MTV and it had to be videos dammit!<BR/>I don't even know what gets played on MTV anymore, but I'm sure it's not videos.<BR/>That Start me Up video is hilarious. It looks like a parody of itself. <BR/>Fun. <BR/>Thanks for taking me back.Zip n Tizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760606219381683552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8197179663823770853.post-87563044812206295272008-09-19T13:37:00.000-05:002008-09-19T13:37:00.000-05:00Oh thanks Colleen!

However we did have a programme called 'top of the pops' and came into the room to see my dad horrified as he watched Culture Club. He wouldn't accept that Boy George was a bloke. He kept saying "I've seen it all now" LOL.
