And that was what paved the way for this accidental second british invasion. Jennings if you look at some of the groups on popular charts in america today, you cant help asking, where on earth did they come from . Well, the answer is the same today as it was two decades ago. They come from britain. The music isnt anything like the famous group that came from there, the beatles. You got to understand they were 20 years ago. Were a new generation, a new wave. You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar when i met you connelly by the early 1980s, new wave is used to describe sleek, Dressy Cool Bands that are coming out of england.

Sting i think theres a tradition that goes back over the past 20 years from the days of the beatles and Rolling Stones where british bands seem to be better at it than americans. Glenn the police have sold 4 million albums in one year. Rolling stone chose them as the best new band of the year, taking note of the swirling, dreamy, soaring quality of the sound. Giant steps are what you take Walking On The Moon Melvoin it was incredible to see them, and i couldnt believe what i was hearing out of three people. I was shocked.

It has made overnight stars out of rock groups whose records had been gathering dust. This year the first since 1978 business is finally up. And the reason is music videos. We had no idea that music videos would have that much of an impact on the musical culture. It changed the entire dynamic of what you had to do as far as promotion was concerned. You had to be a Performance Artist as well as a musician. Fox the fox rat on the rat man the intelligent ones recognize that its a marriage between the visual artist and the musician at this point. Monkey dont youre going to Shock The Monkey Hays the man or the woman who finds the right combination will take it all. Lets dance put on your red shoes and dance The Blues Rodgers when david and i decided that we were going to work together, it was pretty clear to me that david wanted to make a commercial album, you know. Now im going to go make a pop record, but it was going to be his version of pop. Bowie my songs always tend to be impressionistic or even have a surreal quality to them, and on this album is the first time that i really tried to adapt to a didactic kind of approach to some writing. If you should fall into my arms tremble like a Flower Spheeris artists in the 80s, and david bowie, for that matter, realized if you want to make it, you got to be on mtv. Man but theres one group thats not happy with mtv. Many black artists who have been told their music doesnt fit the format. James thats whats happening. We are being sat in the back of the bus television style. And if pittman gets away with this, then there are others cable shows that are going to try it. Pittman mtv doesnt exclude black acts. What mtv does exclude is music thats not Rock And Roll. Mtv came out with no consideration on how to infuse black music into their mix. I am just floored by the fact that there are so few black artists featured on it. Why is that . We have to try and do what we think not only new york and los angeles will appreciate but some town in the midwest that would be scared to death by prince or a string of other black faces. Interesting. Okay. Thank you very much. When are we going to see anybody of color on mtv, because you said music television. When are you going to start covering all genres of music . Whoo music has no color. And it shouldnt have color. And i dont believe in that. What i do, i dont want it labeled black or white. I want it labeled its music. [ cheers and applause ] 1983, motown has this big tv special, motowns 25th anniversary. At that time thriller is out and thriller is doing well. But Michael Jackson couldnt get billie jean on mtv. She was more like a beauty queen from a Movie Scene Lover when the rest of the world was going crazy and he cant get on mtv Michael Jackson come on [ Crowd Screaming ] graham when he does that moonwalk, if you were sitting on the couch, by the end of it you were on the floor in front of the tv. You couldnt believe what you were seeing. Questlove i would say that the moonwalk was really one of the first viral moments that affected rock history. The next week thriller started selling a million copies a week. I like Michael Jackson because he can sing good, hes bad and he knows how to dance. Hes so sexy and so gorgeous. Hes exciting Michael Jackson is the man of the 80s. Graham mtv starts to get pressure from cbs records, which was Michael Jacksons label. Rock and roll in itself really was the thing that broke a lot of rules. And when youre very successful, you try to make your own rules occasionally. Graham as the story goes, cbs essentially said, we will pull every other artist we have on mtv if you dont play this. They had to be essentially blackmailed into doing it. It doesnt matter whos wrong or right just beat it he was the artist that mtv really needed. They didnt know they needed him, but boy, when we started to see the Michael Jackson videos, it was just unbelievable. And no ones going to. Questlove then theres the domino effect. Suddenly you see prince videos from Warner Brothers do the same thing. So tonight im going to party like its 1999 pauley prince wasnt just materializing out of nowhere. Where was he before this video was done . Prince was a huge star on black radio stations. People he had a real underground cult following, and he was a very sexy, hot performer. The sweat of your body covers me can you, my darling, can you picture melvoin prince loved the idea that he was taking his Punk Funk Music and turning it on to a white audience, and that wouldnt have happened if not for mtv. This is what it sounds like when the doves cry when i was younger, i always said that one day i was going to play all kinds of music and not be judged for the color of my skin but the quality of my work. I only want to see you only going to see you in the Purple Rain Wilson prince had a great androgyny. He blurred the gender line. He sings, he writes, he plays. Every time i see him, its just like, oh, really . Okay, i quit [ guitar solo ] hoffs when he plays guitar, its just part of his body in a way that ive never really seen before. And its not contrived, its just its just happening. Majewski what was his music . Was it r b . You know, his music was just straight down the middle, mainstream, grab you by the throat, and balls, pop. We go down to the river and into the river we dive at this point a lot of it is about being there, which is why we havent done too much of the video thing. A lot of it is it allows too much distance, like what our band is about is about breaking down distance. Connelly bruce was all about credibility and intelligence and integrity. So how would he translate his music and his attitude toward the world to what seemed like this frivolous world of the music video . Bruce is not going to be next to a winking model on a sailboat. Cant start a fire you cant start a fire without a spark this guns for hire he ends up doing, essentially, a Concert Video starring a then unknown courteney cox. Its like this weird recreation of something that organically happens at a Bruce Springsteen concert. Born in the usa if there was an artist in the 80s who transcended the music video, hes the guy. He is the one guy that didnt actually need to do great music videos to still be a great artist. Hes Bruce Springsteen. It was great music. Born in the usa let me be direct. Youre watching football wrong what do you call a guy in face paint that cant get the game . A clown sorry, what app was it again . No, no. Just give me a second. Amateurs. Ohhh sorry, everybody. Directv sports central gives you access to every game. So you never have to compromise on gameday. Eh. Was that necessary . I was just illustrating a point.

David bowie, mick jagger, billy joel, rod stewart all famous, all rich, and all men. Rock and roll has been pretty much dominated by men until the last few years. Youre a heartbreaker fox pat benatar is hot, very hot. Three albums in the past three years, all million sellers, and the latest album hit the top of the charts in just one month. Her style is defiant, raucous, tough, and very sexy. We are young heartache to heartache we stand no promises, no demands it appears to me that the one on stage is what i would picture a modern woman to be. Someone who is aggressive and soft at the same time, has a lot of strength and conviction, and can look good and still have brains. Wild you would think in the era of music becoming a visual form more than ever that it would all be about objectification, but there were a lot of strong women on that video screen. Man meet the darlings of l. A. s new music scene, the gogos. See the people walking down the street unlike earlier girl groups such as the ronnettes or the supremes, the gogos write their own songs and play their own instruments. They got the beat they got the beat, they got the beat yeah, they got the beat majewski that was as punk rock as it got for me. To see girls up there, you know, not just singing backup or not just standing in some cool outfit in front of a band, like they were the band. Doesnt matter what they say and the jealous Games People Play hey, hey, hey gumbel while the gogos have always managed to look like theyre having fun, they are to be taken seriously. Theyre the First Female Group ever to have a number one album, and they are at the top of The List Of Female Rock Stars Whose impact within the industry is stronger than ever. The phone rings in the middle of the night my father yells, what you gonna do with your life . Hoffs i thought her voice was extraordinary, and cyndi was a very good visual content creator. I mean, those videos were so colorful and fun. This being march 31st, its also a monday. Some of you might consider it a manic monday. You would be interested in knowing theres a hit song of the same name. We are joined by the architects of that song. They are the bangles. You guys are very hot, yes . [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] 6 00 already, i was just in the middle of a Dream Majewski when the bangles came out, everyone was like, oh its another gogos. The bangles were like, unhunh. Were not the new gogos, were the new beatles. But i cant be late cause i guess ill just. Gumbel lot of people call that a 60s sound. Do you think so . Thats our main influence. We dont go in and consciously say, lets make this a Buffalo Springfield song. That seems to be the way the songs end up sounding. Just another manic monday oh oh oh i wish it was sunday oh oh oh theres always a certain amount of people who will never take women as a group seriously. Man i mean, its run by a very chauvinistic, id imagine, Michael Jackson<\/a> is the man of the 80s. Man music that is all beat and talk. Its rap music.

I mean, those videos were so colorful and fun. This being march 31st, its also a monday. Some of you might consider it a manic monday. You would be interested in knowing theres a hit song of the same name. We are joined by the architects of that song. They are the bangles. You guys are very hot, yes . [ chuckles ] [ sighs ] 6 00 already, i was just in the middle of a Dream Majewski<\/a> when the bangles came out, everyone was like, oh its another gogos. The bangles were like, unhunh. Were not the new gogos, were the new beatles. But i cant be late cause i guess ill just. Gumbel lot of people call that a 60s sound. Do you think so . Thats our main influence. We dont go in and consciously say, lets make this a Buffalo Springfield<\/a> song. That seems to be the way the songs end up sounding. Just another manic monday oh oh oh i wish it was sunday oh oh oh theres always a certain amount of people who will never take women as a group seriously. Man i mean, its run by a very chauvinistic, id imagine, Recording Industry<\/a>. Hoffs we concentrated on the music. We dont really worry about those things. We just keep writing songs. I think that there was a little bit of an attitude like, theyre okay for chicks. They can play okay for girls. We didnt understand why our gender mattered or why it defined us. People magazine this week says it will take an Act Of Congress<\/a> to keep this woman from becoming a mega star. Whitney houston. How will i know if he really loves me . I say a prayer with every heartbeat whether she was doing a dance song or she was doing a ballad. The greatest love of all. It kind of stopped you in your tracks because you just couldnt believe that one woman could be blessed with that much, with the looks and the talent. This lady started out as a dancer, went to new york, went to paris, worked with bands, came back as a single, and is she hot. This is madonna george if you saw madonna then, she looked just like the girls who hung out at a club called the fun house. All the girls there had the mesh thing, and they had the boots, and it was kind of a mix of new wave punk with this other dance sensibility. Holiday celebrate i think madonna was able to use that core of dance music and use the style of the streets that were going on and evolve that into a pop career. We are a couple weeks into the new year. What do you hope will happen not only in 1984 but for the rest of your professional life, what are your dreams, whats left . To rule the world. Star light, star bright first star i see tonight star light star bright make everything all right star light peresman all of a sudden there was girls around that had the gloves with the fingers cut out, and the hair wrapped up in a net, wearing short skirts. There was like hundreds of thousands of jewish girls around the country wearing crucifixes because of madonna. Woman what do you like about her . I like the way she thinks about acting free. She acts like a different attitude that no one else has. She dresses how she wants, acts how she wants, sings how she wants, she does what she wants. I think her appeal is that she is feminine, she is herself, she is sexual, but shes strong shes an individual woman. Rodgers madonna understood the mtv phenomenon. She understood the vibe and the look and the sound. It all came together with her. Everyone underestimates you. You keep giving them little surprises. If they get you all in one glance, then whats going to make them look again . Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, Like A Virgin<\/a> feels so good inside peresman when madonna sang Like A Virgin<\/a> and started rolling around on the ground, people thought it was a career ending moment for her. Oh oh oh oh oh in this wedding dress, rolling around on the floor. It kind of stopped everybody in their tracks, and was thinking, what is she doing, and why is she doing it . But literally by the next morning, shes the biggest star in the world. Melvoin madonna had no doubt. She was like, this is happening. Get out of the way.

Youve been hiding in the 80s, the videos were so expensive and so complicated, and you had to wear things that you would never dream of wearing before. At first it was a lot of fun to really get dressed up and pull in that corset, just wear tons of makeup and great big huge hair. You had to have that sexy kind of thing, you know . Im coming out of a gold mold. Ann has a welding iron, and shes this amazon welder woman or something. Ann wilson we felt lost in the theater of it. It got to the point where the videos were more important than the songs. Nancy wilson it did feel like, i cant steer the ship anymore. Where is it going . Where are we headed . I think heavy metal is the true Rock And Roll<\/a> of the 80s, and Rock And Roll<\/a> was basically music made by people who were thinking with their crotches. [ Indistinct Singing<\/a> ] [bleep] like a beast heavy metal, it is not something new in physics, it is Rock And Roll<\/a>. Loud, rude, it glorifies sex and violence, it hates authority, and adolescent boys love it. This is it. This is the hot stuff. [ Heavy Metal Plays<\/a> ] alan, turn it off for a second so we can talk. A shot in the dark one step away from you just A Shot In The Dark Swaggart<\/a> you turn on your television set, and you see this weird, Beastly Presentation<\/a> that was birthed in the pit of hell. Where do they get this information from that i am satan . Do i appear to you to have horns . I know im a bit strange looking, but i havent quite got horns and breathe fire, [ scary voice ] and i dont speak like that. Phillips critics say theres something seriously wrong with metal music, outrageous by design, that it may have contributed to a number of teenage suicides. Has Rock And Roll<\/a> finally gone too far . A growing number of people think so, and today they took their case to a u. S. Senate hearing. Their complaint . That rock lyrics and videos are crossing the line into trash and smut. We are asking the Recording Industry<\/a> to voluntarily assist parents who are concerned by placing a Warning Label<\/a> on music products inappropriate for younger children due to explicit sexual or violent lyrics. Wild in the 80s, these artists who were pushing boundaries in different ways were bringing those messages and images into our homes, and that provided political opportunity to push back against it. Burnett we can say theyre senators wives ooh and theyre messing around in washington, but they obviously have some real concerns. Theres a lot that they do that i applaud because they are taking responsibility as citizens. I brought along two videos which i believe are representative of the kind of presentation which caused the furor. Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad im hot for teacher i got it bad so bad roth whos going to decide whats a sexual content of a lyric . Whos going to decide what is obscene same housewives who are spearheading the movement . In all candor i would tell you its outrageous filth. If i could find some way constitutionally to do away with it, i would. Fans felt, im capable of making my own decisions about the music i want to listen to. I dont need tipper gore deciding that this is too obscene for me. So, the next witness will be mr. Frank zappa. Zappa the establishment of a Rating System<\/a>, voluntary or otherwise, opens the door to an endless parade of moral qualitycontrol programs based on things certain christians dont like. I think you should leave it up to the parent, because not all parents want to keep their children totally ignorant. You and i would differ on whats ignorance and educated. [ laughter ] simpson the women didnt get the Rating System<\/a> they wanted, but they did get a commitment to begin applying a printed inscription on the packaging of albums, cassettes, and music videos warning that they contain blatant explicit lyrics. Good Rock And Roll<\/a> breaks all the rules, okay . Thats just the way it is. Thats the way it always has been. Elvis presley was not good for the children either. Good morning, everybody.

Everything that is in the fight to be free so you dont have to live like a refugee dont have to live like a refugee all we hear is radio gaga radio goo goo radio gaga rodgers the great thing about live aid, it showed that musicians, for me, seemed to be the most altruistic people in the world. A group whose heart is in dublin, ireland. [ cheers and applause ] whose spirit is with the world. A group thats never had any problem saying how they feel, u2. When u2 played live aid, things had changed. Rock and roll was getting serious. Music could change the world. Bono could change the world. Sunday bloody sunday Sunday Bloody<\/a> sunday. Gibson u2 formed ten years ago when its members were still school boys, is now arguably the hottest Rock And Roll<\/a> band in the world. Their last album, the joshua tree, has so far sold more than 13 million copies worldwide. Wild u2 somehow in the video age were still developing and becoming a great band and maintaining that kind of connection with people and not getting the message lost in the medium. Bono weve spent the last ten years finding out how to be in u2. Well spend the next ten years seeing what u2 can do. [its the final game, folks.

Right now, all around us, and so compelling you never miss the fact theres no melody, is a music thats all beat, strong beat and talk. Its rap music. [ rap music plays ] rap music began in Harlem In The South Bronx<\/a> on playgrounds like this one where people would gather to spin records and recite their own lyrics, their raps, over the instrumental section. Come on, now. Brakes on a bus, brakes on a car the breaks was kurtis blows biggest hit, selling 680,000 copies last year and hitting the top of the rhythm and blues sales chart. Lover as a young kid running around with the local dj crew, i watched the transition from all of the disco music that we used to play at all the block parties to slowly but surely hiphop taking over. [ hiphop music plays ] woman the music Underneath Rapping<\/a> is called scratching, and its a process of using two turntables and a mixer, making new sounds out of already existing albums. Thing that gave life to music in the 80s for me was hiphop because it took the Sounds Of The 60s And 70s<\/a> and brought it to the forefront. A child is born with no State Of Mind<\/a> blind to the ways of mankind god is smiling on you but hes frowning too because only god knows what you gonna do graham the message was the first hiphop song that wasnt just a party song. It was talking about what was going on. It was talking about urban decay. It was talking about drugs, crime, prison, all these things that were hitting communities really hard. Smuggles, scramblers, burglars, gamblers pickpockets, peddlers, even panhandlers you say im cool when the message hit, man, it was like, okay, put that down. What he just say . Pull the record back. Play that again. Dont push me cause im Close To The Edge<\/a> george everyone knew the game had changed. And it really opened the flood gates for the next generation of rappers. [ Indistinct Rapping<\/a> ] its not Michael Jackson<\/a> and this is not thriller lover when rund. M. C. Came out, they were taking Rock And Roll Music<\/a> and putting it together with hiphop, and making something brandnew out of it.

C. s latest album, entitled raising hell, has sold more than a million copies in just 13 weeks, a first for a rap record. Their album is called License To Ill<\/a>. Thats a stupid name for an album. [ laughter ] you wake up late for school and you dont want to go you ask your mom please but she still says no lover hiphop was our baby. This was our culture, this is our music, we created it, then here come the beastie boys, and we were afraid we were going to lose it. You got to fight for your right to party and then when we started listening to their music, they really were funky, and they could really get busy. We were like, okay, all right. [ Indistinct Rapping<\/a> ] rakim beastie boys come out what people thought would be a pop hiphop group. No, they were straight hiphop. Beastie boys was dope [laughs] you know what i mean .

If they were to address the issues, the issues being poverty, the issues being not having political power, you see what im saying, all of these issues, they should be addressing this with their energy. Planet earth was my place of birth born to be the sole controller of the universe chuck d. rakim is the guy at emcee. He singlehandedly changed the phrasing of rap music and hiphop. He came to the world like a poet. Its hard on the boulevard so i bogart and never get scarred i learned different rhythms listening to jazz. I learned different rhythms, so i incorporated that in my rhyme style, not just a regular toom, toom, toom. I was in between. Totoom, totoom, totoom. To be all i could be and more and see all there is to see before what i am trying to do, im trying to set example for the little kids, you know what im saying, teach the babies, you know what im saying, try to lead them on the right path.

A rebel in his own mind [ Indistinct Rapping<\/a> ] Rebel Without<\/a> a pause was heavily influenced by rakim and heavily influenced by what was just going on. It was really a desperate call to have us being heard. You talk about black all the time to a multiracial audience. Shouldnt you maybe be thinking about, who are the people ive got out here .

She drives me crazy ooh, ooh like no one else ooh, ooh she drives me crazy and i cant help myself brown coming to the end of the 80s was like watching a kaleidoscope.

Pour your sugar on me nancy wilson at the end of the 80s everybody came to the same conclusion simultaneously something new needs to happen here, and its got to be realsounding. More garage, less produced. I need an. Peresman there was music that was bubbling out of places like portland and seattle and bands like nirvana that werent looking to fit in to what was being played on mtv or radio. I can see you every night eventually radio and mtv came to them. The seeds of what will happen in the next decade are already all there by the end of the 80s. College rock like r. E. M. Was something new entirely. Collar me, dont collar me ive got my spine, ive got my Orange Crush Heilemann<\/a> the way that peter buck played the guitar and the way that stipe song, where the voice was incredible but you couldnt quite figure out what he was saying, it just kind of made them more alluring and more mysterious. You could get why that band would become huge. [ Indistinct Singing<\/a> ] peresman it wasnt new wave. It wasnt a new romantic. They started calling it alternative music. Its the end of the world as we know it its the end of the world as we know it i feel fine fine, fine fine, fine [ cheers and applause ] this is the thing about the 80s. Everyone thinks its about crazy haircuts, lots of makeup, insane clothes, and it was, but the thing about this music that lasts is that their songs were so good. Melvoin you can go back and listen to those records, from the engineering to the musicianship to the writing and performance of it and it surpasses most music. Brown everybody had a story, and they wanted to tell it. The artists that were coming through the tv and into your lives. Everybody wants to rule the world questlove ill say the music of the 80s is more effective than what came to us in the 60s simply because all of us were included this time. No decade was more effective in dance music and politics in different genres than the 80s. There will never, ever be another decade like it, ever.
