1980 Music

1980 was a very crucial decade for music. In the eighties you had the development of MTV which people called illustrated radio. MTV made music more accessible to people and previewed music for people that wasn't out yet. Along with MTV music was being used more and more in television and movie to help explain the story or mood the show or movie was trying to display. Music became a staple in movie and television ion the eighties and continued on from there.

Music in the eighties had one major difference from the 1970s and years before that, and that was the development of hair band and the rock ballad. A few examples of hairbands are White Snake, Poison, Def Leopard, and Motley Crue. The band that had the best rock ballad was White Snake with their song Here I Go Again this song is a true rock ballad. Along with the rock ballads these bands had some killer songs. Many of these band have since broken up gotten back together done a tour and broken up again. No matter how many time these their songs still live on and always will, the songs were classics before they put on to the radio or in television and movies.
