1968 (Forty years later...)
Meryl:
John, you zeroed in on the couple of years that I actually watched MTV oin the 80's. Loved "Money for Nothing" and "Sledgehammer." :-*
Aloysius J. Gleek:
I'm glad people liked the Peter Gabriel videos. As for Dire Straits, what's not to like (and we have Princess Di's seal of approval)!
Here's an interesting site:

Also: Robert Palmer's videos made from the songs of his 1985 album, Riptide, were, shall we say, striking.

"Palmer, who made his home in Lugano, Switzerland for his last 15 years, died in Paris, France in 2003 of a sudden heart attack at the age of 54. He is interred at the cemetery in Lugano."
Wow. A dangerous age, as I know first hand....

What Elle said. Most definitely.
Elle also said I should post here to say that I'm one of the good things that happened in 1968. ::) :)
