Remember when MTV would actually play The Rolling Stones?Anyway - no big deal at MTV today for this milestone. They did all that nonsense for their 20th b-day.
What else happened musically 25 years ago?
* Eddie Van Halen and Valerie Bertinneli got married
* Lionel Richie became the first person to produce the #1 pop, R&B and Country hits in the same week with "Endless Love"
* Menudo was founded
* Wings broke up
* Phil Collins released his first solo album
* U2 made their first U.S. TV appearance
* Metallica was formed
Remember how devastated you were when Wings broke up? Heather Mills cried in her sandbox.
As for all you people you say (again and again) "MTV sucks it doesn't play videos waahhhhhh"
SHUT UP.
Videos don't equal ratings and rating don't equal money. There.
Besides, check out MTV Overdrive at mtv.com. There's your videos.
There is one more thing video killed: Christopher Cross
