40 years ago a “new concept in television” was born and changed the music industry as we know it.

We react to the first 25 videos ever played, discuss how John Sykes might influence the Rock Hall’s treatment of MTV artists, lay out why the Rock Hall should “Induct the VJs” and also reflect on MTV’s legacy.
