The Videos That Shaped The 80's

This is the first music video to appear on TV channel MTV, it heralds the video age in the importance of the medium. The song has very distinct lyrics, which scars into your head 'video killed the radio star'


This music video was the first of its kind to tell a story.


This video was the first controversial music video to be made; it was crude and also was the first video to be banned as some people found it offensive to watch. There was an extended version to this video, which again made it the first music video to have an extra long version to it.


This soundtrack is a fine example of when a music video adds value to a song because the band themselves are not a very good band, however the low budget video that was produced is straight forward and is just a great music video to watch, which really worked in the music bands favor.
