4. R.I.P. JJ Jackson.

They're from an era when MTV was semi-watchable and played some safe new-wave. Then one of the Jackson kids makes a video - The End. Like RKZ said, because of people like Madonna, the 80s were about POP instead of rock like it could have been.

Martha Quinn was HAWT back in the day, but in that photo she looks like Chachi in drag.

[wildhorses]

5. is she pregnant?

you are talking about the brunette or the blonde?

the brunette looks preggers
and the blond is in DRAG, that is the way i see it

wow, they have not aged very well at all

[Rabrrrrrr]

14. I wanna be stuffin' Martha's muffin!!

Yeah, back when MTV was actually... music.

Those were the best VJs - after that shithole network canned these people, it went to hell. Or, I suppose more precisely, when MTV decided it wanted to become an irrelevant shitpile that had nothing to do with music, they had to fire these guys.

I miss the old days of the original MTV when they had intelligent VJs and actually played music videos and talked about music.

Now it's all godawful shit "heavy metal" "music" like Nickelback, or rap, or hiphop.

They haven't played music in 15 years.

[ceile]

16. Back when videos were still played.

I do miss early MTV. sigh.

[terrya]

17. Well, I'll ask the question...what was the first video played on MTV?

Trivia time. :-)

[texas1928]

18. "Video killed the radio star"

By the Buggles.

[terrya]

19. Correct.

[BarenakedLady]

21. Oh yes

When I was 12-13 and MTV started, I would spend hours with them watching videos. Does MTV even play videos anymore. :shrug:

[Arugula Latte]

22. Brings back memories of high school.

Looks like Nina is still kinda "out there."

[CatWoman]

25. I was stationed in Germany at the time

my Sergeant Major made a trip stateside, and recorded 24 hours of MTV for us.

We made copies, and wore those tapes completely out!!!

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

[Joe Fields]

27. Who is that lady on the end?

[gizmonic]

28. Nina Blackwood n/t

[Kat45]

29. Oh yeah, the original VJs on MTV.

I used to think Nina Blackwood was really cool, but I found Martha Quinn highly annoying.
