80's Music Video Killed The Radio Star

The 1980’s music was known and is still known for being the best music yet. Everyone had gotten in the act after the 80’s had moved forward. At this time, most people never knew that we’d be talking about the 80’s music. With this kind of music just beginning, many people engaged in many different ways. A music video was the essential way to get a hold of an audience. MTV made its first appearance in 1981, providing music for people all day and night. “Video Killed the Radio Star” was the very first music video to appear on MTV. Peter Gabriels “Sledgehammer” was the song that was played the most.
When the pop musicians started getting fans, their road to fame was just beginning. On August 29, 1958, Michael Joseph Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana.
At the age of five, Michael Jackson began to perform with his four older brothers Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon.
He was the lead singer for his band “The Jacksons.” The Jacksons hired Paula Abdul to choreograph “The Jacksons” “Victory” album. Michael Jackson’s music was creative between the years of 1970 and 1980. The music industry had finally woke up after Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” Everyone would keep their eyes on the screen and wouldn’t make one movement when “Thriller” was on. After Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” had played, it took music videos to a whole other different level. Jackson was able to put his own routines directly into a music video without practicing. Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” was and still is the most expensive music video so far. His “Thriller” album was the top selling album to ever exist. Michael Jackson released his “Bad” and “Dangerous” albums after he had a huge hit on “Thriller.” During the decade of the 1980’s, “Thriller” became the most popular album. Over the days, “Thriller” sold 40 million copies throughout the whole world. If you ever wanted Michael Jackson to dance, someone just had to put the camera on him and automatically, he would do it. Madonna was the first video star to represent the females. She may not have been good at dancing, but people still thought of her as a star.
Madonna was one of few that came up with her own original sounds. Her strategy was a music video because those usually were for world domination and caught everyone’s eyes. Madonna was one of the top female stars to exist. Her biggest dream was to rule the world. Many charts were dominated by male artists but it wasn’t until the late 1980’s when female artists dominated it. Many female artists were creative and experimented with many music videos. The pop genre moved forward after Peter Gabriel embraced his videos. Whitney Houston still breaks the record for the largest amount of consecutive singles.
Twisted Sister was sometimes known for being a glam rock band. At the end of the glam rock era is when KISS came together. The 1970’s is when KISS formed together. They were also known for being a glam rock band, but after a while, that faded away. KISS’s lead singer Gene Simmons, had an unusually long tongue. They wanted to set themselves apart from other bands. To start off, they all wore black and leather. What KISS wanted to do with their lyrics was to have fun with them. While riding a bus or subway, some KISS band members would try to come up with some ideas for the lyrics themselves. When writing lyrics for KISS, it rarely came easy. Standing onstage playing instruments, was the last thing they wanted to do. When it comes to going onstage, KISS didn’t hold anything back. They would always try using more fire and fireworks during their concerts. When anyone would ever think of KISS, they would all think of high and wild energy. After they got fans, they had to hire a songwriter to help them with their lyrics. Once they got a songwriter, they had to hire a manager. When they hired a manager, they started getting many more gigs. Their road to fame began very slowly. After four months, KISS had released their two-album set. They had released 18 albums by the time of 1983. In Florida on January 1999, KISS performed at Super Bowl thirty-three. The greatest heavy metal band most people believed was KISS. “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns n’ Roses was created in less than five minutes. The two types of metal band were heavy metal bands, and hair metal bands.
As AC/DC members were growing up, they changed jazz into something new also known as Rock n’ Roll. The band AC/DC went into a recording studio to work on their very first album. Their first album was titled “High Voltage.” AC/DC’s lead guitar players were brothers, Malcolm Young and Angus Young. Their actual lead singer, Bon Scott, was the one and only person who wanted and did kick the band into high gear. AC/DC was known for going through very many changes. After changes were made, they were ready to Rock n’ Roll the world. AC/DC has changed with many trends in music because they stood up for what they wanted to do and play. At the Myer Music Bowl, AC/DC performed in front of more than 2,500 people. When they opened up the Back Street Crawler concert, they won over all of the crowds just with their simple yet amazing sounds. As AC/DC kept on playing, their fans doubled and soon enough, they had a very large amount of fans. When it comes to making songs and creating lyrics, their method was very basic. AC/DC’s Rock album “Back in Black” was dedicated to their former lead singer Bon Scott. Their “Back in Black” album was the best and still is the best selling rock album. AC/DC always tried new thing such as costumes for new experiments.
The group of men that brought old school hip-hop to a mainstream audience was Run D.M.C..
One of the first female rap bands were Salt-n-Pepa.
The 80’s was a very popular time with music. Most people couldn’t stop listening to the music that would run on MTV every day and night! Everyone who was still alive during the 80’s music never would’ve thought that we’d be talking and listening to their music. The music of the 80’s was the best century of music in history. The music of other people’s times, totally changed everything. After many new song were introduced, the music industry came back to life. Everyone has learned that when something is created, it can still be alive in the future.
