Now you can figure out that quandary without having to rely on your memory, thanks to MTV’s music site putting together a playlist of the 56 clips that aired during the channel’s first broadcast day, back when “music” was something of a viable strategy.

My favorite clip from the playlist is located after the jump. More ยป
