MTV,
for better or for worse, changed the face of popular
music forever. This year took the full brunt of the cable channel's force and passed it on to us. Some of these experiments succeeded (Yes, Bowie, the Kinks, the Police) artistically and some failed (anything connected to Michael Jackson[!]) (Commercially is another matter.) |
