One thing in life I missed out on were the days when MTV actually played music. I can only imagine how exciting it was to have a channel that added the new dimension of video to pop songs.
 
Thankfully there is still some enjoyment to be had from it's legacy and it left behind a few wonderful unplugged sessions that I've highlighted here.
 
The first two tracks are common pub quiz questions: What was the first song played on MTV? Video Killed The Radio Star; What was the first song played on MTV Europe? Money For Nothing

  1. Money For Nothing - Dire Straits
  2. Video Killed The Radio Star - The Buggles
  3. Summer Of 69 (Unplugged) - Bryan Adams
  4. Back To You (Unplugged) - Bryan Adams
  5. Tears In Heaven (Unplugged) - Eric Clapton
  6. Layla (Unplugged) - Eric Clapton
  7. San Francisco Bay Blues (Unplugged) - Eric Clapton
  8. Don't Look Back In Anger (Unplugged) - Noel Gallagher
