As the answer to the trivia question What was the first act ever played on MTV?, the Buggles assured their place in pop music history. Vocalist and bassist Trevor Horn and keyboardist Geoff Downes formed the electro-pop duo in England in 1979 after meeting two years prior as session musicians. Their first single, Video Killed the Radio Star, hit number one in the U.K. in late 1979; when MTV went on the air in 1981, the prophetically-titled records video was the first ever broadcast on the fledgling cable network.

Although the Buggles enjoyed three more British hits — The Plastic Age, Clean Clean and Elstree — both Horn and Downes were more interested in production than performing; in 1980, they helmed Yes Drama, and later joined the group as replacements for Rick Wakeman and Jon Anderson. After Yes break-up, Downes signed on with Asia, while Horn formed ZTT Records and produced hits for the likes of Frankie Goes to Hollywood and ABC.
