Pretty much everything on MTV in the early 80s. Tainted Love, She Blinded Me With Science, Take On Me, Whip It, Beat It, Madonna's entire catalog....particularly the new wave stuff would have never made any money if not for the videos. Like West End Girls. Has anyone ever listened to the 1st Pet Shop Boys album? It sounds like a poorly made demo. Drum machine, synth bass, vocal, and one keyboard that either plays chords or melodic lines, but never both, and never any overdubs. Very sparse. Very cheap. Most of this new wave stuff was garbage, but it sold because of the video
