The First Music Video
Although many would argue the first music video was created the The Buggles' Video Killed the Radio Star, the first music video was actually Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody. Although many bands in the 60s and early 70s had created promotional clips for their music, Queen was the first to do a full-length video of their song (which was actually created to broadcast of Top of the Pops, as the band itself would be on tour and unable to perform). -
