*Ahem* Please combine your posts, rather than make several short ones, especially within minutes of each other.

The Buggles were, in fact, together in the 70's; however, Video Killed The Radio Star was their first hit of any consequence. It probably wouldn't have done near as well if empTyVee hadn't spun it first. The vid that you refer to was not concert footage.
BTW, Downes and Horn were also members of yes for Drama, replacing Anderson and whoever was keys at the time...Wakeman, I think.
You were a child of the 80s if you remember when cable TV was 'new'.
(Seriously, like Louie Anderson said... what are we going to tell our kids? Not "we walked to school uphill both ways!", but rather, "I didn't have cable till I was 12!!!!")

*SIGH* Yes, I remember when cable was "new"...BUT...my parents refused to get it. I missed out on most of the cool music videos.
Speaking of music videos, remember Friday Night Videos? THAT was the only time I was able to catch a few videos - that is, if I didn't conk out before midnight...

I remember that. I also remember Night Flight on USA. Way before the Power Rangers, they used to play hilarious dubbed versions of the Japanese series that Power Rangers was based on...Swordlady said:

J.Giels Band, WWF cartoon, all the bad ninja movies, Flock of Seagulls, New Order and Police Academy Plus Return of the Jedi were all the big pop culture. Oh lets not forget the movie "Vacation and Ghost Busters" came out that summer as well.
If you could not decide between Schwarzenegger or Stallone for action movie to watch...well...
When you listen to an oldies station and can sing along to all the songs but dont know any music acts after M.C. Hammer, then you are an eighties child.
If watching the "Who can beat the Rubix Cube in under a minute was a big deal to you", along with a pair of parachute pants. Gee, Dukes of Hazzard, the Hulk, Voltron, He-Man, Charles in Charge, Atari, and all those spin off Qbert and PacMan Cartoons. Gee, every comic book had a Saturday Cartoon. Let's not forget "Video Killed the Radio Star" However, "The Real World" killed the video star, gee who from the 80's doesn't remember "I'll Be Back" "Yo, Adrian" or "I am going to cruise your class Mr. Hand."
I was in first grade in 1980 so I had a little 70's influence from my dad.

Is that anything like the Thousand-yard stare? I developed that while driving in Manhattan.

I love lists like these. I miss the 80's.
Mine was The Fall Guy. I'm still waiting for that show to be released on DVD. I think I had a Knight Rider lunchbox as well.

Dang...I don't remember what kind of lunchbox I carried. I think it might've had something from "Star Wars"? You know what they say about how your memory is the first thing to go...
