Thriller. The debut was a pretty big event. Friend's mom let him have a bunch of us over for pizza and spending the night. Guess that was 82 or 83.

In the 80s I thought the music sucked but in hindsight looking back on it the music was actually pretty damn good.

Money for nothing was one of the first really big “technological“ videos that I remember seeing

My first MTV memory was visiting my cousins with better cable in summer ‘83 and watching the Burning Down the House vid.

Quiet Riot's MTV debut of "Cum On Feel The Noize," so that would be 1983.

I’m sure there are others, but the one I remember the most was my babysitter and her friend had MTV on playing Color Me Badd’s “I wanna sex you up”
