I initially resisted Friday Night Videos as it was the show that replaced SCTV. Too much ZZ Top perhaps [:I]

I've heard the original VJs say, many times, that there just wasn't many
videos for them to play. Remember, they started mid 1981.

Shorty,
Thanks for the memories. That really takes me back. I was a real MTV junkie from 1981-1985. I remember when we first got MTV, I was working in an office that summer and my younger sister (who wasn't working) used to call me several times an hour

Alot of repeats on that list...Rod Stewart(4x), Reo Speedwagon(4x),Pretenders(3),Cliff Richards(2), Styxx(2), The Who(2),Iron Maiden(2)....Video killed the radio star...Mtv was allways short-sighted with their playlists.
