I'm sure this has probably been a topic in the past on this site, but I am interested to know others opinions on a medium I think is underappreciated. As with most people over 20, MTV was a big deal growing up, and it's where I first got exposed to how diverse the world of music really was.

Other questions to ponder:

1. First music video you recall watching? (I think mine was "Rockafeller Skank" by Fatboy Slim.
2. Favorite MTV or VH1 program? (Can't go wrong with a little Beavis and Butthead)
3. Best Music Video director turned feature film director? (David Fincher directed a Paula Abdul video, how strange.)

For sure mate - when I was 10 years old it was 1994 and MTV really helped me find my music identity. Probably influenced by older siblings as well to be honest though. (I mean what 10 year old watches MTV if you are the oldest in the house?). Having said that, none of my siblings like rap (more later).

Anyway, I remember seeing Heart Shaped Box, One, What's the Frequency Kenneth, Buddy Holly (the song of course), Black Hole Sun (which back then was great, but now I hate that song), Disarm, and Today on MTV. I also remember seeing LL Cool J's Mama Gonna Knock you out and Snoop's Gin and Juice and Warren G's Regulator... had it not been for MTV... I likely wouldn't have gotten into any hip-hop/rap music.

This is likely the first music video I remember watching though (at least it is the oldest one I remember watching as a kid... could've been a re-run)

I actually was sad when MTV turned to crap in the late 90s (imo at least). I realize there's youtube now, but I kind of liked having a VJ doing it for me.

Always been a big fan of this video, interesting use of stop motion.

Turned me on to the best Leonard Cohen cover ever made, the joys of Concrete Blonde, the strange, dark sexiness of Johnette Napolitano and that moment when she takes it up an octave, and the search of "what damn album is THAT from?"...all in 4:40.

The River by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard has an awesome music video. When the little alligators start like synchronized swimming or whatever around halfway through it's so cute.
Sweatpants by Childish Gambino also has a really cool video. I love at the end when everyone in the diner is Gambino. It's so weird.
There's tons more but these two come to mind immediately.
Oh, and I think the first music video I ever saw was this gem right here. Good times.

Great stuff folks, I got a nostalgic twinge recently when re-watching some old videos from the 90s. Unfortunately, Aqua's one hit wonder is also an early memory of mine too.
