In the early 80's there was still a lot of experimental stuff, they were still developing and blending music styles from 70's Punk, New Wave, 70's Techno, Funk, Soul and Ska. In the early 80's one-hit-wonders replaced the big acts of the 70s Bee Gee's and big names in Disco, but then the one-hit-wonders were replace by acts like Michael Jackson and Madonna Ciccone, and Glam & Hair Metal. I never really watched MTV so imo they never had any relevancy. But I felt they killed music by making it uber-commercialize commodity. With the exception of a few things in the early 80's, the decade was a total bust, it's enough to make me wish MTV never happened.
