Most Important Moment In Music History?
 

What is it to you?

the release of "led zeppelin I"

well, I can't think of any MOMENTS in particular....maybe Woodstock?

But I say the day Kurt died, and the Day Sid Vicious Died, or Joplin, Morrison, Elvis...etc...
sad how it is a death that is bamboozled by the media like that.
but music changed with their deaths.
This is a hard thread to respond to.....

^
I'd add Hendrix, Curtis, and The Original Ramones to that.
But yeah that's what I think is important.
AND woodstock too.
Either that or every day that new names are found to classify a band.
Example: Grunge, goth, new wave, emo, etc.

no those are the funniest moments....
new wave, emo, goth....what a crock! It's all music!

The day that Gurr Frug started tapping to rocks together...The first music ever made.

The day that Busted broke up..

Nah, Im kidding. I'd go with all the deaths of the greatest musicians, that seems to affect everyone.

When MTV played its first music video "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the buggles. Its probably not the most important, but its creepy to think that that song ushered in mass media's domination of the music industry.

The Romantic Period.

i think the days all those dead guys you've mentioned were born

ok, let's go waaaay back, all the way too...the invention of the stringed guitar! that moment when that man, woman, and caveperson or whatnot figured how to string animal skin to both ends of a stick was the most important moment in musical history.

Thats funny on a TV show they said it was dire straights - money for nothing!

lol, either way it's ironically funny

i know!! that's exactly what i was thinking about right now.. hmmm

omg this was my 1000th post. i should've writtten something wiser and more interesting...

^haha... i didnt know you could write interesting and wise things blacktshirt....

i reckon probly the most important moment was when thomas edison invented the grammophone

MTV was already broadcasting for a few years when the money for nothing video came out.The song makes direct references to MTV. how do you write a song that makes a direct reference to something that doesn't exist yet. The song chants "I want my MTV", which was MTV's slogan long before the video came out.

The verdict is: according to Ask Jeeves video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles was the first video played on MTV (USA), however, a few years later (no dates were provided) Money for Nothin' by Dire Straights debuted as the first video on MTV Europe.

ah well both right in a way i guess

ooh, right.. you only knew about my funny jokes, huh?
what do you mean "no"???! :yikes:

and yeah i do write interesting stuff :) my literature teacher asked me to write some stuff for a literature magazine.. woohoo but i'm too busy i'm not sure i have enough time for that, though ;)

as if you are too busy.... what else do you do besides post on this site...

write, listen to music and hang out.... oh and having weird dreams about you.. haha

weird dreams hey??

(haha) best moment in music-- the first time someone sang (yeah, weird dreams.. you wouldn't let me wake up..) haha subliminal messages

yeh first singer (buy coke buy coke buy coke...)

the FIRST one.. as in.. maybe it wasn't human.. maybe a dinosaur (i don't want coke)

or like a single celled organism (but im telling you to subliminally dammit!)

maybe it was the sound a leaf made while falling (i'm a go make two threads.. one espacially for our subliminal messages and one about rain.. )

yeh or the wind whossing through trees... (good idea)

or nail-bitting (goo see)

yeh i spose (can you chuck us the link cos i cant find it :D)

i haven't made the subliminal one yet... wait a sec

oh i mean... or the shouting gorrilas

yeh gorillas are cool (subliminal dammit!)

or.... birds.. why the fuck haven't i thought about it sooner?...

(go see)
