From the beginning when sound and vision were made into the consciousness of existence there has been a sense of music and rhythm. To ask if Video killed Radio as a means of people obtaining music, for that time frame it did indeed. In the grand scheme of things, no it did not. Music is a universal sensation we feel in our very core.
Video can maximize or diminish the ideas the artist has with their music. Many feel a music video may take away from the vision of the audience and strip the idea of their own creativity, but in the opposite it may sprout life and flourish into a grander vision.
We feel it, a sense or tickle of nostalgia that filters into our minds when we hear the music. How the radio can be on while you drive and you relate an experience with a specific song. Thinking in the extremes of is one way of music better than the other does not hinder or help what music is about. Music is about touching the soul of the people that listen to it. True music as Chris Cornell put it "defies the concept of genre" and ultimately is about showing our humanity. Sharing our experience and connecting with others on a macro level.
