  • Pop Top Icon-Blondie

    For 1980 No Artist exemplifies this time more than Blondie. Emerging from the punk new wave scene they tried many different styles. Their career still goes on today, however to me is the perfect bridge between the 70's and 80's.

  • Who ya got MIA or NYC 80's Freestyle.

    Was there a debate did one city give us freestyle and the other ride its coattails? Well it seems not but a subgenre of music was born out of disco and synth beats. Whether you call latin hip-hop or post disco dance it was great music to just have fun to.
