Aug. 1 marks the 40th anniversary of MTV’s launch. For this segment, the obvious focus is, what are your favorite music videos?
Basic guidelines:
- It isn’t limited to “MTV era” or videos initially released on that network — can be any network or streaming platform, or videos prior to ’81, as long as it’s produced in “music-video form.” (That is, televised live performances aren’t part of the mix).
- We expect to get most of the “classic” favorites, but also want to see videos you consider to be overlooked or underrated, or maybe you think an artist’s video outshines its best-known work.
- Although not required, we PREFER only one video per post, to help focus reaction and discussion for specific clips. Exception: If a set of videos are connected in a relevant way, such as thematically or stylistically, or you want to post a couple of videos by the same artist. Try to limit to no more than 3 in the "exception" umbrella.
- Optional: Share stories about early memories of watching music videos; or why a video appeals to you.
