So yall don't respect black music or sumn? How does the introduction of hip hop not make this list....thts disrespectful
Queen’s performance at Live Aid in 1985 is the most memorable performance of any band I have ever seen💯%🎤🎸🥁😎🎵🎼🎶
@@King.binge99 again where is your non existent proof I'm him. You don't have anything to prove anything you claim. It's sad that you continue to lie.
Taylor Swift release of Fearless is a more important musical moment than the invention of electric guitar??? Are you out of your minds??
it think it should have been her album 1989 where she feud with Apple to voice "small" artists get paid.
I'm simply going to cut & paste my reply to the same comment elsewhere:
It struck a chord for musicians rights --- but Tom Petty did it first, and best, by withholding the masters for his newest Album until the Lablel Execs agreed to revisit his contract in 1979.
Consider that the Beatles --- the most important and greatest band ever to form and arguably the most profitable overall --- collectively were paid 2.5% royalties ON EVERY SONG.... meaning the owner of the music rights (Northern Music) raked in BILLIONS of Dollars while the band members each got .625% in return. When you couple that with Englands INSANE tax rate (back then, 95% if over a few million pounds) the band was getting shafted for every song they released...... all while the music industry ate fatly from their work.
Events like Taylor Swift (or Tom Petty) struck a hit against the music industry for more fair division of the money spent on purchasing music. Now if only an artist would stand up against Spotify for their abyssmal division of $$$.
Taylor Swift releasing Fearless does not make any sense compared to the rest of this list.
Facts
True
They really want her to be the legend ……let ‘em have it man………
She’s this generations Michael Jackson/Elvis. Like her or not she’s a part of music history.
@@Stormmonkeyso was Hitler
The release of Thriller should be on here. If you look at album sales in the couple of years before the release of Thriller and after I think it's a pretty significant event in music history.
“Thriller is the best-selling album of all time, with sales over 70 million copies worldwide. It is the best selling non-compilation album and second-best-selling album overall in the United States and was certified 34× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2021. It won a record-breaking eight Grammy Awards at the 1984 Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, and Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male.
“Beat It" won two Grammys for Record of the Year & Best Rock Vocal Performance, Male, and "Billie Jean" won two Grammys for Best R&B Vocal Performance, Male & Best Rhythm & Blues Song. Jackson also won a record-breaking eight American Music Awards at the 1984 American Music Awards. The album has been a frequent inclusion in lists of the greatest albums of all time. In 2008, it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In the same year, the Library of Congress added it to the National Recording Registry of "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant recordings".
Michael Jackson made so many iconic milestones in history. From the Jackson5, first black artist to be played on MTV, to speakomh out against the big music conpanies (also Prince). He is iconic. The Jackson kids are tbh
David Bowie calling out MTV for not playing black artists was a huge game changer. It forced MTV to rethink its own way of what videos they played on TV.
LOL....they own it 24/7 now 😅😂😂
they own it 24/7 now 😅😂😂
Great List! At Live Aid, Freddie Mercury and Brian May went back out onstage later in the show to perform "Is this the world we created".
I don’t think the invention of the phonograph should be this way low in the rankings because it was very very significant.
America isn't the only country in the world
To me the phonograph was a machine that my great-grandparents used. I am not sure how it changed or enhanced musical trends.
Didn't most countries have access and ability to use the phonograph? Although, I believe it was not really a top invention.@@raheemabdoul8480
God I miss MTV and CMT when they actually played music 😢
It's not a knock at Swifties whatsoever, but many big name artists did what she ended up having to do before and after the fact. The only reason Taylor was included on here was for a representation of having a current big name in music on this list (whilst ignoring some of the other big name musicians of this generation).
Yes, i recall when Beethoven premiered his 9th. The excitement led to a very full chamber pot upon my return home. A night i will never forget.
I went and saw the Utah symphony play Beethoven's 9th, and it was so phenomenal. I can only imagine what it was like to actually be there with Beethoven. The place was packed, this was written over 200 years ago and people still cherish it. It deserves its spot.
i recall we were giving him an uproarious standing ovation but ol' Ludwig had his back turned against us. he was as deaf as a doornail so he couldn't hear the applause. when he finally turned around, he saw the audience cheering for him and his eyes started to water as he recalled his childhood swimming in the lake while gazing at the stars. that was an epically magnificent night.
did you save the chamber pot? It could be worth millions today with your backstory attached....
Mozart and Beethoven were rock'n'roll long before it was an itch in anyone's pants.
The British Invasion, Beatlemania, and the introduction of reggae to an international audience.
The 80’s were just a piece of freaking fire man!
In music AND film. Nearly every week a new epic iconic film came out. I would’ve gone broke.
@@spinflux They used to cost like 💲 a million dollars and I’m so glad they’re cheaper now.
🏆🥇
The launch of MTV is number one bar none. The music video itself became an art form and Michael Jackson’s Thriller video and Thriller album sales proves it. Not to mention Madonna at the first VMA’s. The music industry was never the same before or after
It was a huge commercialization period which plays into the age of yourself and the importance you put into this idea, we have this crazy view because how spoiled we are for sure
I apologize if this is confrontational
The Beatles changed the history of the industry hundreds of times, including the music video itself. If that were justification for putting it first, anything by the Beatles would cover the top 10.
The Jackson 5, Rapper's Delight, Madonna, MTV, Live AID and We are the World and more the 70s and 80s were mind-blowing.
I certainly agree with your top two. I was babysitting the night the Beatles performed on the Ed Sullivan Show, fell in love, and spent my babysitting money, as soon as I could rush to Grinnell's Music, on "Meet the Beatles." Was never the same afterward. Still a Paul girl! And Ludwig!!! What a masterpiece! Loved the video, thank you.
Freddie Mercury will always reign supreme!
I remember watching MTV for hours and hours - wow!
Honorable Mentions:
*Black Sabbath (1970)
-Thus gave rise to heavy metal. All hail the forefathers of metal! 🤘
I agree with you. Iron man was one of those songs that got me into it 🤘
Beethoven's 9th #1. I love that piece! Kudos to you.
I was at the Ed Sullivan Theater for the Beatles. A life-changing experience, and what a first concert!!!
Love that for you
Imagine the most electronic sounding music possible. All of it comes from the oldest, most classical music you can imagine, and this is one of the points where electronic stuff really was taking off in an entirely new form as in one of many different phases. I’m a super electronic/melodic music person, but I love where it has evolved from.
As someone who's not really an expert on music theory/history (more of a production & instrument enthusiast) I think you're correct regarding its roots & origins. Most if not all of electronic music is derived from minimalism which is a subgenre of 20th century classical music.
Electronic music to me, for the most part is repetitive, instrumental & more focused on timbres or colors of the sound which I find stimulating compared to other genres of music. It also has very rich & fascinating history
I agree on all that. Electronic definitely has the structure you mentioned. I feel like contrasting sections kinda got defenestrated. (That means chucked out the window.)@@tutubism
No mention of ABBA winning the Eurovision contest in 1974? That jump started one of the biggest careers in music history history. That should be like top 10 at least.
"I'd like to introduce Led Zeppelin to you" - Robert Plant
You left out some major things. DJ Kool Herc, Run DMC and Aerosmith, Tupac’s Double Album, The invention of the Album cover, Motown, the band Death, and Rocket 88 (which is very very important! And more important than anything Taylor swift has ever done or will do).
Oh yes, Album covers added so much to my music experience in the 60's-90's. There was a lot of thought and creativity behind them. Spending an afternoon in a record stores to view them was part of the music culture of the time.
Taylor Swift re-recording music one of the most important moments in music history?! Seriously?
Yea… because it is considered a game changer in how artists are compensated for their work.
'Queen at Live Aid' will always be my number 1. That performance was simply too epic for words!!!
RIP Freddie❤❤❤❤
Freddy Mercury singing Radio Gaga is the most legendary moment for me 🎉
People who don’t like music are basically confirmed serial killers 😁
"You think I haven't heard of those words before? You're just a bully who's too scared to go to war." - Freddie Mercury to Frank Sinatra in Epic Rap Battles of History
?
The day music died should definitely be on this list
Bro, why isn’t the inception of Woodstock on this list?
They will never make music moments like this ever again.
The next big one might just be around the corner, who knows?
Music moments aren’t made, they happen! If you attempt to make it happen, it will always fall flat.
There will always be moments in music as long as there's music what are you talking about

3 first lollapalooza 1991
4 simon and garfunkel central park concert
5 livin la vida loca by ricky martin the latin revolution
6 the day that music died when richie valens , buddy holly and bog bopper died
Change number 5 with despacito
It's too bad not many people know about the disco demo event at Comiskey Park, Chicago. It happened in-between two major league baseball games. I can imagine it was a powerful experience to see crates of disco records explode.
Michael jackson did 3 different things in this list!!!! (Should be 4 though for music videos) but wow he did so many!!!
My dad still says that he fundly remembers laying in his bed, under the sheets listning to pirate radios. Not a singular event, but still helped shape the music scene nonetheless
Taylor swift releasing fearless was more important than the first jazz release and the invention of the electric guitar?
During the Freddie Mercury tribute show a priceless moment happened when the audience was singing along with George Michael on Somebody to Love and they sang the final chorus the same way as it was on the album breaking the word love into multiple syllables on multiple levels. I apologize that I am not describing it properly but if you know the song you probably know of what I speak. Or type.
😭😭😭 there's no way to describe it adequately. It was a moment. The entire show was.
Taylor swift in the list? That is not serious, pure hype
It's not about who she is but what she did. Since the beginning of Record Labels, the record company owns the Masters, the copy that is the original recording. Taylor Swift literally stole her music from the previous label by re-recording her entire catalog so she would own the Masters. No other artist has done this. Ever. Now that it's been done, other artists will do it. This serves notice to the big record labels - you don't own the music, you own a copy.
@@randomize27Jojo did it. Prince did it. Stop.
@@msbigredmachineYeah but Prince was a pretentious prick who took himself to seriously.
@@HarryWessex But he still did it.
@@randomize27ONE music artist had done this before: Larry Norman way back in the late 60's and all through the 1970s. But he was labeled a troublemaker and rebel by all the music labels he worked for (Capitol, MGM, Verve and finally Christian music label Word Records.) and even sued by some of those labels. He wound up having to create his own label (Solid Rock Records) in order to get his music out.
In the end, he simply re-released all his albums with new songs on the Solid Rock label, and the music studio execs got tired of fighting him, looking for royalties from music they claimed to own.
Some of the choices on this list are very questionable but I digress the one about the Jackson 5 should have been attributed to their 1969 appearance on the Ed Sullivan show although it was not their television debut It was more of an iconic appearance early in their careers and more fitting introduction to the public
The Beatles were the greatest “pop” group. That’s all I need to say
John Lennon would disagree, as he aimed to be more "rock". Paul McCartney would probably agree, though.
The summer of love was 1967, not 1969. There is even a Wikipedia article on.
They aren't interested in getting facts straight, just churning out yet another video :(
Our mistake, yes the summer of love was in 1967, not 1969. However, the Altamont speedway concert did bring a somber end to the Hippie decade! Thanks for letting us know of the mistake!
@@WatchMojo Not a problem although I would argue the hippie culture did not end until 1972, but that is subject to debate and not as firmly embedded in history. Concerning your mistake, that's why God made erasers, and I am an agnostic.
@@WatchMojo You're even wrong in your reply. The Manson Family brought an end to the "hippie movement" etc.
I will not lie. Till this video I legit thought Coachella was a fashion festival.
It was Literally Les Paul Who Made The First Electric Guitar And Pitched It To Multiple guitar companies like Gibson
When taylor Swift moves her head ppl faint …….. lol
Thank you very much, mojo. You bring your bring back. That's great memories of history. With music that change my life. Especially the time I was born 55 years ago.
Beethoven 1 queen live aid 2 n Taylor releasing fearless is never beyond electric guitar end of controversy
Yeah. I started high school in 1981. I graduated in 1985. I don’t remember anything from high school except MTV. No regrets. 👏🏼❤️❤️👏🏼😉
I get annoyed when I see these lists all touting "We Are The World".
If Bob Geldof didn't get Band Aid together over in the UK, would We Are The World ever have happened. I think the answer is probably not, leaning toward no.
Facts!!!
Apparently important events in music history can only happen in the USA. Otherwise this video would be named: "Top 30 Most Important Moments In American Music History".
I agree with you, but sadly DTKIC didn’t make the noise or reach the heights that WATW did worldwide. It also didn’t have Michael Jackson.
Georgie Harrison's "The Concert for Bangladesh" That's who should be mentioned first
agreed!!!
In Queen at Live Aid, when FM do the 'EeeeeeYoooo!' and followed by the crowed made me goosebumps👑
Jimi 🇺🇸 and Freddie 👑 🎉❤
I love how you give so much credit to these performances…. Then talk over the 2 seconds of the footage we get with each one 😂
I would mention the Depeche Mode 101 concert in 1988, when they played in front of 70.000 fans in the Rose Bowl stadium in pasadena. As an electronic group from england. Something only the biggest rock bands could do. And that changed the view on electronic music forever.
Actual based depeche mode & electronic music enjoyer
These Moments in Music on This Video From The 60s 70s & 80s Are Better Than Music in This Modern Time you’ll Never See Music Moments Like These again
Thank you for the update, WatchMojo..!! 22:10 I thought MJ was the one who invented the Moonwalk, but later I found there were other singers and dancers before him. 🥶
The Summer of Love was in 1967, not 1969, when the Altamont concert occurred.
It was the late '60s, so I imagine every summer was a Summer of Love.
Indeed, the summer of love was in 1967, not 1969. However, the Altamont speedway concert did bring a somber end to the Hippie decade! Thanks for letting us know of the mistake!
@@WatchMojo Still say you're wrong & the Manson Family did that.
I recall the premiere of Beethoven's 9th symphony like it was yesterday.
There I sat in my powdered wig, enjoying the candlelit theater even I though I was battling a bout of cholera.
Good times
I missed it as I was in the lobby having a sarsaparilla.
Having Taylor Swift on here for her Taylor’s version re-recordings shouldn’t be on here because there were far more important moments that happened in the industry than this. Just because she is almost everywhere these days doesn’t mean she has to be included in every list like this.
She challenged the way things are done. That you don’t like her doesn’t mean she isn’t making history. The impact of her “Taylor’s Versions” is unique because we have never seen an artist fight like this for their masters and be so successful at it. Out of it most artist are leaving their labels and agents and claiming back their art. Before TS the agent was the sayall of an artist career. They decided what could be done or not and their label had all control of their art. Now universal music is borderline working FOR Taylor. she’s a force to be reckoned. She has changed the industry 🤷🏻♀️
@shofisstar She may change the dark industry, but she isn't the first nor the last.
she may not be the first or last but she is the first for this generation and set the stage for others.
@@kellydipietro3205No. Kesha. TLC. Linkin Park. Dr.Dre. All within ”this generation” to use your own words. Nothing, and I do mean -nothing- Taylor Swift does is new or unique. Dont get me wrong, she is an great artists, but face facts that she is doing the same things others have done for decades.
Its the fact that after her masters were sold without her permission she decided to RECREATE those same albums re-release them and have them top the charts she literally occupied the entire top 10 something Beatles havent even done. Just the very fact that she regained control over her music because people are going to be listening to this Taylor's version instead of the original making it useless that's very ballsy like imagine all ur shit just getting stolen from you and yet you still come back untop lol. and I'm not even a taylor swift fan it's just you have to give credit were its due and what kicked all this off? The release of fearless Taylor's version you find have to like her music to accept hwe achievements.
All month long I've been telling everyone I know about Beethoven's 9th symphony being the most important thing in music *ever* but people keep telling me to be quiet.
This video will help me get at lest 7 people to agree with me for the first time. *Thank you.* 💯
I hope the video helps spark meaningful conversations and appreciation for this iconic piece. Keep spreading the love for classical music!
@@WatchMojo I love y'all. ❤
At it's premier Beethoven's 9th Symphony earned five standing ovations. Today it would stop the news, break the internet and create universes! All with no twerking or other overtly sexualised costumes and dancing. No silly gimmicks or stupid lyrics, no ghastly tattoos or plastic surgery. Now This Is Music...1824!
Please discover the rest of Beethoven. The other eight symphonies, five piano concertos, thirty-two piano sonatas, sixteen string quartets, two masses and an opera! And this is not all. So much wonderful, glorious music from just one man. Around LvB, there's almost a thousand years of classical music to explore and enjoy. 🎼🎶🎵🎶
the earlier days of Napster and Livewire was crazy back then followed by torrent was crazy!! The Beatles, MJ, Elvis, Freddie Mercury, Jimmi Hendrix and so much more past performers -once in a generation names for a lot of genres. This list here showcases some big historical moments in music. #1 definitely surprised me but after reading into how he did it, definitely hands down!!
00:12 Nice one..Big up! Blessings
I really wanna see the watch mojo the most saddest shocking moments of death of music leaders off all times have already passed away so badly
I stopped with the livery stable blues, this makes it sound as though the first well known jazz recording is being confused with the creation of jazz itself and the impact the genre itself had. It's probably not intentional, but comes off very wrong.
I was very young when Woodstock happened. I was told that Jimi's Star Spangled Banner was disrespectful. Electric guitars are an instrument of rebelion. An electric played by a black man?
Fast forward to adult me. I was at my Dad's house watching a game. A Purple Haze instrumental was featured in a Coke commercial. Coke obviously paid big bucks for the rights, but my Dad commented unfavorably. At least he noticed.
Jimi is widely regarded today as one of the greatest musicians to walk the planet. My Dad never got it. May they both rest in peace.
The Mellotron in 1963 changed music by bridging the gap between pop and classical music. The Moody Blues were one of its main proponents.
#1 was a pleasant surprise!
Woodstock. A great music moment in history
OK, you had the beginning of jazz and an excellent classical piece. But where is the beginning of folk music, blues, Latin, or any of the different forms of classical music beginnings? All of which influenced rock and roll, and jazz. Your listing is bias toward rock and roll events,
The fact that the number one on the list was Beethoven premiering the Ninth Symphony shows that WatchMojo actually pays attention to more than simply pop material. Bravo.
The inclusion of Taylor Swift is pandering to younger viewers and has no place on this list. Important omissions Do They Know it’s Christmas, Woodstock, the assassination of John Lennon.
Otherwise a solid list
@batgurll In the beginning of this video, they said that ''no deaths of musicians'' would be featured, which is why the assassination of John Lennon was not featured.
Les Paul was born in Waukesha, Wisconsin and has a road named after him.
The Woolton Parish Church Garden Fete on July 6, 1957. IYKYK.
21:48 "...heavyweight artists including Joni Mitchell, Sinead O'Connor, & Van Morrison..." *(while showing unmentioned superstar Cyndi Lauper instead).* 🤔
Freddie ❤😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 i still miss him
I love the #18 good music 🎶 🎵 tho and I love the rest of the music 😅tho and good ones too.
the moonwalk/thriller was the most important thing in music history in MY opinion. the early 80s the industry was stale nobody could sell anything , music videos were an afterthought then here comes MJ changing the entire way that music was being promoted, consumed and created with 1 album and 1 live performance
Queen did a massive world tour after Live Aid, why do people keep thinking it was the end of their career??
Queen had a complete concert tour after Live Aid. Calling Live Aid one of Freddie's last major performances is ludicrous at best 🙄
The Jackson 5 made their TV debut at the end 1969 on the Ed Sullivan show & their first song was ‘I Want You Back.’
I def remember when Beethoven released his 9th Symphony. Everyone in Europe knew this was a banger. Every carriage from London to Lisbon was bumpin' that jam.
I would kill to go back in time and go too the premiere of the 9th.❤
Havent watched the video yet but The Denny’s Grand Slam better be on here
The Jackson 5 first appeared on national TV's The Hollywood Palace on October 19, 1969. I was watching.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bohemian Rhapsody was the first promotional pop video and started the pop video revolution. It was made as they were unable to take time out from their tour. After this other groups made making it the standard for M TV. 🤠
Do they know its Christmas Time > We are the World. By far
Both are important & both were for charity. To be butthurt all these years later because someone thinks 1 was more important than the other is hilarious to me 🙄
@@munkustrap2 What the f*ck are you going on about? I'm saying just saying Do They Know it's Christmas. The scenario you've just put only exists in your head & has never happened
Hey now, where’s Band-Aid’s historical event? Let’s not forget that, without Bob Geldof’s _Do They Know It’s Christmas,_ for Quincy Jones to pilfer, mimic, copy or steal the idea from, there’d BE no _We Are The World,_ LiveAid or FarmAid.
"Do They Know It's Christmas" should definitely replace "We Are The World" on this list!
Give it a rest. Both were for charity & to be whining about which is more important all these years later is childish.
#1 should be Woodstock 1969 the most influential mass gathering ever.
Where’s Monterey Pop 1967?
Every book I ever read credits Robert Johnsons early blues recordings as the inventor of modern rock music yet he is missing on this list.
No idea why swift was even on here would have had Beatles rooftop concert instead of her😂😂
Sugarhill was my dads favorite song it stays on my Playlist
18:41 COME AS YOU ARE ♥🤍
I remember when MTV used to be actually about music videos and the remote control tv show.
No Daft Punk at Coachella? Their concert revolutionised staging and production design with their LED light show
I was 14 and was sitting waiting for MTv launch!
plus i think yes what taylor did re recording her albums and that she is a monumental artist i think it’s still way early in her career to for her to be on this this there are some many great artists that did amazing things that paved the way for future artists that weren’t mentioned
