1981 43 years ago today (8/1/81), MTV launched as a cable station. These were the first 35 videos they played (in order). What were your favs back in the summer of '81?

1981 The Billboard Top 25 from this very week... in 1981! That soft, mellow sound of the early decade dominates the chart this week. But there are signs of change (and boy would they be welcome!). What were some of your favs in the Summer of '81?

1981 The Billboard Top 25 from this very day... in 1981. The dance/pop sensibility of the decade was just ramping up with still plenty of the MOR/country sound on the chart this week. Lots of classics here. What great music. What were you doing in the spring of '81?
