I listened to this audiobook on a whim, with low expectations, but was drawn right into reliving some of the key musical memories of my youth. Although it doesn't feature the original voices, the story is told through quotes from all the participants - business founders who were inventing a new medium at the same time they were bringing rock and roll debauchery to the boardroom, rock stars who were learning a newly compulsory part of putting a record out, extras and dancers finally given a voice to describe what it was like.

The book is mainly organized around the biggest videos, and you almost just need to list them to invoke the memories (forged by long afternoons slumped into the couch telling yourself, "Just one more. I'll just see what the next one is").  Video Killed the Radio Star, Lucky Star, Thriller, Hot for Teacher, Welcome to the Jungle, Smells Like Teen Spirit, many more in between.  I'd forgotten how many genres the channel invented - the ironic game show (Remote Control), the Unplugged performances, the shows dedicated to Rap (Yo! MTV Raps) or Alternative music (120 Minutes), and finally, the Reality TV that would take over the channel and is all that remains today. 

I'd forgotten how compelling and revolutionary it was to experience music visually, leading folks to call MTV the new Beatles. This book does a great job telling the story of the channel, with all the good and the bad, but it brought back those old fan feelings.
