Most Important Moment In Music History?

The verdict is: according to Ask Jeeves video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles was the first video played on MTV (USA), however, a few years later (no dates were provided) Money for Nothin' by Dire Straights debuted as the first video on MTV Europe.
 
the release of progressive rock masterpiece "Space Oddity". it shapped rock for the next 15 years, and in that period some of the greatest albums ever where released
 
The obvious one is discovering electricity. IMO music evolved massively in the late 60's and 70's with keyboarRAB/synthesisers, guitar effect pedals, bigger amps, sequencers, computers but none of these would exist without elec. we would still be banging drums and dancing around flutes & fidles.
 
The day that Busted broke up..

Nah, Im kidding. I'd go with all the deaths of the greatest musicians, that seems to affect everyone.
 
If only I could find a video of the Family Guy bit with the 4 cavemen singing "For the Longest Time"..... I could post that video and everybody watch it and laugh at it and go "Man! You are so clever!!"

I'd probably say the biggest music innovation happened somewhere during the 1920s or 1930s. And like the above poster, the discovery of using electricity for music, which really opened alot of possibilities.
 
ooh, right.. you only knew about my funny jokes, huh?
what do you mean "no"???! :yikes:

and yeah i do write interesting stuff :) my literature teacher asked me to write some stuff for a literature magazine.. woohoo but i'm too busy i'm not sure i have enough time for that, though ;)
 
When MTV played its first music video "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the buggles. Its probably not the most important, but its creepy to think that that song ushered in mass media's domination of the music industry.
 
The day that man heard a musical note through a piece of wire and didnt know what the hell it was. As for modern music-Robert Johnson sitting in a recording booth.
