I recall that. I was 14 years old, my friends and I were excited to see MTV so we had the TV on waiting for it. We live in mountain time zone and we got the time wrong so we had to watch an hour of static but MTV finally came on.
I was kind of disappointed when Video Killed The Radio Star was the first song but then this blew my doors off. I was already a Pat Benatar fan and this video made my jaw drop

@@mh5259 Very true. I didn't expect the first song on MTV to be something I had never heard before and, to be totally honest, I never really liked that song. Video Killed The Radio Star was a good first song. The title was perfect but the song itself never resonated with me.
Like singing Happy Birthday. It's appropriate but you aren't really going to jam out to it. lol

She and her band should have been top of the list to be inducted their first year of eligibility which by the rules would have been 25 years after releasing their first album in 1979. That means she should have been in the Hall back in 2004.

@Azabaxe80

2y↑7

@@dahoss5405 All those rap acts you mentioned (with the possible exception of Tupac Shakur) belong in the RnR Hall on musical merit alone. You may have a problem accepting hip hop as part of the heritage of rock and roll, but that's an issue that's better left to musicologists and art critics. Madonna, however, I've always seen as the person who inherited the title of "sexiest woman in pop music" from Pat Benatar. Benatar, of course, made better music, has a better voice and was a better performer. Based on that criteria, and not cultural impact, she should be in the Rock Hall instead of Madonna. Or the GoGos.

Second video played on MTV when it launched. When many others weren't sure about embracing music videos, Pat was trailblazing.

Pat"s vocals overshadow all the other princess's , she's a true rocker with a prowess ala Ann Wilson

How is it that Pat is not in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame? Has there ever been a better female vocalist in the rock genre?

@hairychest7865

she has yet to even be nominated. such a shame.

David Buning , You know that shit is political seeing as how there are so many in the R&R HoF who have virtually nothing to do with rock and roll.

@hairychest7865

I wholeheartedly agree Merl Ball.

Of course she’s not in. They’re too busy trying to put in non-rock artists in like Madonna or ABBA.

Pat looked, and sang amazingly, in this video... Her future husband Neil Geraldo, standing in the back, with the blue Stratocaster, playing the living hell out of it. One of the most underrated guitar players in rock. Neil should get inducted into the RRHOF too. One of the greatest studio axe men ever to pick up a six string.

Pat Benatar recorded "You Better Run" for her second album, Crimes of Passion (1980). On August 1, 1981, the music video for the song was the second video ever broadcast on MTV:

How many times did I listen to this in the early 1980's on my stereo while smoking a bowl out my bedroom window? Lots.

You wern't the only one, except I did it with a one hitter in the bedroom while smoking a Marlboro light!!

Pat Benatar was the real deal. I had forgotten just how many great songs they had, and what an amazing singer she was. I was into harder rock, and heavy metal, but I liked her and respected that hard rock edge she and her band had.

@smchomer

Thanks Pat and Neil for so many great years. I married a Lindenhurst Girl back in 75 in Our Lady of Perpetual Hope while I was in the Navy. We have lived in Columbia, SC for the past 30 years. Pat's book, "Between a Rock and a Hard Place", was a real eye opener- When you were watching "You Better Run" in Oklahoma were we watching it at our home of the time in the Missouri Ozarks.

@1984AP

One of the 1st 10 videos MTV played in Aug. 1981. 40 yrs. old this week.

She has always been my ultimate idol! Always presents herself bold and fierce when singing all her songs. And that's no act! Her expressions prove her strength. Plus there's not one song of hers that's not strong reinforcement & motivation to handle so many battles in life like a leader!!!
Plus not to mention still stunning!!!
