Music in the 80s

Michael Jackson's Thriller is from the best selling album of all time. This music video does not follow the typical conventions as it acts as more of a short film. The video is 12 minutes in length and has a very detailed story line starring the artist himself the music doesn't begin till about 4 minutes into the music video . suburbs the norm of a typical music video. Their is a narrative however mixed with a performance as their is a dance scene.
The first music video shown on the launch of MTV in Europe was 'Money For Noting' by Dire Straits. It's easy to see why this video was chosen as it strongly promoted MTV as the lyrics contained the word 'MTV.
