I remember when MTV first came out and we all tuned in to watch everything from Genesis's "Land of Confusion" to Dire Strait's "Money For Nothing." Late at night, Headbanger's Ball would come on and after school, it was always the Top 20 Countdown and Yo MTV Raps. We looked forward to their annual end-of-year review of the best music videos.
