MTV

When MTV first started, it was pretty much the only channel that shows videos. It was the only way to see artists perform other than actually attending a live concert. It offerend another way to hear music other than the radio. I do agree that MTV has made image more important than sound. For example, in present day a CD album cover is very crucial in the sales of the album. Most of albums have a crazy or very interesting cover art to invite buyers to the album.

But music as a whole changed so much since MTV originated. Back then there were a lot of dancers in videos, today you dont find this so much. Also MTV is a channel where people from all walks of life and ages can come together and enjoy music.
One point the article made that I never thought of before is that there were only cute people on MTV. Well personally I think this can be very subjective because what some people may think is cute, I think it will be the complete opposite. Who decides what is attractive anyway?? That is another blog topic lol. But all in all I like videos.I think MTV changed music drastically. If there were not any videos today, I dont know how I would perceive music so easily as I do today.
