Blondie

From: New York, New York

Active: 1976-present

I first heard them: on the radio in the early '80s, but what brought them back to my attention was a Quantum Leap episode that played "Call Me" over the closing credits

Sound: genre-hopping New Wave

Further listening: I only know the big hits, but I like said hits a lot. Here are a few.

"Dreaming" (1979)
"Heart of Glass" (1978)
"Rapture" (1980)
