Blondie

Click here for a Blondie sample:

One of the more progressive (or fake, if you're a purist) groups of the New York new wave scene, Blondie makes it here just for "Rapture." The song is still fresh, especially that bassline. Their turn on the reggae standard "Tide Is High" and "Heart of Glass" also threw more than one person for a loop on the dancefloor.
