Martha Quinn June 16 1982

[@johnworrall3646]

Martha Quin is still gorgeous !!!

[@Dana-wq5tp]

Martha was such a cutie and a smile that could bring anyone out of their deepest depression.

[@mftalbot234]

Every guy I knew had a crush on Martha Quinn back in the day, and this clip shows why - she smiled when she talked to the camera, and had a girl-next-door, down-to-earth friendliness in her manner that was just irresistible.

[@Snoopies622]

Wow, so . . . not pretentious. So innocent. How sad what has happened to tv since the early 80's.

[@MikeM-vx8hf]

Always had a huge crush on Martha! She was perfect for MTV!

[@donaldalbano6484]

I want my 1982 MTV!! waaaaaaaaaaa

[@bernardstrikesenemy8564]

Fell in love with her, she's awesome brought the 80s alive ❤ 😍 💕 Martha quinn ❤ love you in iheart i listen everyday ❤..keep on going girl 👧

[@novavon88]

Such the little dish! It was this year that I first found out she is the sister of SNL Weekend Update anchor Colin Quinn.

[@JohnThomas-su5bw]

I loved her in my college years.Oh Martha you cute adorable little creature.

[@wiscgaloot]

You and every other straight male in the country. She was absolutely adorable, I agree.

[@dragondriver1007]

I had such a crush on this girl. I still might.

[@Terrapin2871]

I'm in love with this woman...

[@jeffwelsh205]

Couldnt wait to go home and watch MTV.

[@dolphinbuc]

Didn't realize how much this would make me smile.Thank you for the post and I'll always keep these years close to me.MTV should be ashamed of themselves now.What a concept back then.Simple and effective.

[@zamdrist]

I was 12 years-old in 1982 and had a huge crush on Martha

[@matthewrumbel1818]

I was so in love with Martha! And this clip ends with Rush. Perfection!!

[@chrissys9465]

In love with Martha hug.. Lol

[@jimbarrofficial]

Same here, all us old dudes channeling MCQ.

[@sambradley2975]

I miss the old MTV, what's there now is pure garbage.

[@roronoa0316zoro]

Used to see”MTV, Music Television, all day and all night in stereo" good old days when real music was there. Love ya, MQ

[@videogarage9221]

To all my fellow GenX'ers ... boy has time past us by so quickly. Things have changed so much. To think that MTV was a such a novelty and an important part of our lives back then and now is irrelevant. It's tough to reminisce.

[@stargate1555]

To all Gen-X.........my generation pioneered all the stuff you liked.

[@artdeco64]

Class of ‘89.

[@64mung]

THE REAL MTV!! TV was great back then!

[@jpd782]

Martha Quinn was my first crush before I even knew what a crush was. I was only 6 years old when this video was made in 1982.

[@Ugwamp]

RRRRRUSH! Saw this tour and have been taking my kids to their last three tours. Oh yeah, and Martha is really fine too! What a gorgeous cutie!

[@roseconmatswatson5389]

America’s Sweetheart! Always and forever my fav VJ!

[@HardLuck93]

Back when MTV was worth watching

[@sambradley2975]

I still love Martha, My English teacher looked like her.

[@sambradley2975]

I love Martha Quinn, her & Nina Blackwood were my faves.

[@jamesbelleau287]

Goddess. ..unpretentious and honest...wish we had more of this in 2018..

[@stevewatts6008]

ah yes, the good ol' days when you learned of concert tour dates by watching MTV ...

[@Twotontessie]

Quinn was a cheerful chitterbug. Those were good times. Haircut 100! LOL. Then the next video might be Maiden "Run To The Hills." Love it.

[@mikesilva3868]

Awesome 🎬

[@yuchen7644]

Thanks.

[@jdog34505]

she is soo cute in this vid! love her:)

[@LandondeeL]

When Martha left, MTV totally lost the plot!

[@pmays4]

She was fired. That shows you how idiotic so many businesses are.

[@anti-ethniccleansing465]

@@pmays4 I tried to confirm if that was true, and can’t find a thing about her supposedly being fired.

[@Twotontessie]

Martha Quinn and Rush Limelight ... this must be heaven man !

[@TonyfromBham]

'So beautiful inside and out.

[@ximenoworks]

Every guy WANTED her. Today's MTV simply SUCKSSSSSSS!

[@buffymcmuffin5361]

Such a honey! I so liked her when MTV first came out.

[@conscience-commenter]

Man , non political , non commercialized magic watching a cute Martha Quinn's music commentary ! The way it should still be .

[@danpine786]

I love that Glenn Frey’s “I Found Somebody” was a World Premiere! I remember these new MTV additions being a true event! 💕

[@christschool]

Martha, straight out of college! She got even better looking in the next few years after this.

[@itiswhatitaintanditaintwha1427]

Such a sweetheart! 💖💞❤💚

[@conan1982]

On this day my life was changed forever ...

[@cultfilmfreakreviews]

she's like your friend's little sister that you fall in love with every time you see her

[@TheShadowkrab]

she turned 58 and she's still damn easy on the eyes

[@videogarage9221]

She has aged gracefully. Weird, but i like her better now as a mature lady than back then.

[@RonSwansonIsMyGod]

The ultimate girl next door....

[@RockNRoller66]

Loved her back then and now she reminds me of Alison Brie, also hopelessly hot!

[@PredatorKingdom]

Martha Quinn was bae!

[@mycontrol30]

She's cute. I love her voice on 80s on 8 Sirius XM :)

[@xendava7217]

I loved Martha. But I also loved Nina. They were both great. But man she is young here.

[@willmont8258]

I think Nina and Martha were the Ginger and Mary Ann of the 1980s.

[@eblackadder3]

I forgot how young she looked way back then. She was 23 here, but she looks like a teenager!

[@jgweems]

Love Martha Quinn, but what a great way to end the video! Except that they stopped too soon.

[@josephcabrera6396]

she was a cutie

[@CapAnson12345]

She was always my favorite VJ. Her and Kennedy. I had a thing for both.

[@scyllaandcharybdis]

Thumbs up if Joe Hill's The Fireman bought you here

[@yuchen7644]

thanks, that's how it's done.

[@wolverinefan3535]

She is on sunny 101.7 iheart Radio north canton ohio I listen to her everyday from 9am to 3pm

[@willmont8258]

I Want My MTV, the way it originally was back in 1981-86.

[@lancehurley9743]

Where I lived,we didn’t get our Mtv till 83...but better a little late than never..

[@tristramcoffin926]

If MTV was smart at all they would have a show called Classic TV of maybe 2 hours that was just this footage. Let the kids know what MTV was in its original incarnation.

[@arthurkyriazis]

So 1980s

[@nicholasbruno4808]

oh martha......

[@manuelsilva1580]

Back when MTV was great! Reality shows and PC politics murdered this station. RIP MTV Astronaut.

[@shutthefuckupdonny99]

You notice how much information the vj's gave you back then??? Like good college/volunteer run radio; another dying breed. She's telling you about the set lists for christ sake! That shit was done by the time my fam got cable. Summer '87. Fucking Curry days ;/

[@DoubleAgents]

shutthefuckupdonny99 Sadly, by then Downtown Julie Brown's ass was the star of MTV. (Killer ass yes, but a prelude to the vapid shit that took over the network going into the 90s.)

[@pmays4]

How can you care about anything apart from Martha Quinn?

[@necromaya]

Would love to see her interview with Stiv Bators of the Lords of the New Church, which led to them dating for 2 years.

[@mattwuxx3888]

Anybody still believe tolerated cultural Marxism and the promotion of Hip-Hop culture wasn't the beginning of the end for a thoughtful, innovative and prosperous America?

[@unreliablememory9687]

Better days than these.

[@samhouston4326]

'Rap killed the MTV video star'

[@RealIslandersPride]

awesome vid! do you have any more? P.s. why does it say 6/16?

[@holagabriel]

Linda linda con ese peinado

[@samhouston4326]

Do they even make music videos that aren't Rap?

[@conjandysecurity]

Yes.

[@jackjohnson7396]

36 years ago, time for the rest home.

[@Robman7]

you nailed it.

[@deanw0rmer]

Have any clips of her barefoot?

[@danno02]

[@badreligionbomb]

[@Joe_Gunn]

Girls really don't wear bangs anymore I don't know why look how cute Martha look in this.

[@robertmack929]

REBUILD HISTORIC "LESTUDIO" CANADA YEH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!EH!

[@hughdavidvisor1769]

Tane Cane was no Tawney Kitane.

[@VideoMenu]

This is good for one reason right off the bat: She's not talking like this? You know with a question mark? And then grinding it down with the vocal fr-y-y-y-y.

[@mpc3po]

Fuck Yeah "limelight"!!! some RUSH.. so weird for the 'album' line it just says MTV concert!?...mtv tried to label and claim the "exit stage Left" concert..i don't think so..weird! why would'nt it say 'moving pictures?'

[@nuclearthreat545]

hi I'm Martha Quinn MTV's original vj bla bla bla calamatta olives and literally every kid loved to do that apparently but ok in the yellow can

[@jbratt]

MTV started downhill when they brought in Kurt Loder.

[@robengle5786]

Weird, I thought Kurt Loder was a pretty good journalist and they also had lots of decent programs and top tier videos during that day

[@SugaryCoyote]

Squeeze!
