When I was a kid my dad got us a PS1 and was excited as it was the first thing he ever had that could play music CD's. So he disappeared for 10 minutes and left me on the street one day. He came back with a handful of CD's. One of those CD's was a best of Blondie.
So me being a 7 year old or such never knew Blondie, yet somehow I ended up putting it on a music player we had a few years later and listening to it all.
One track always stuck to me (despite enjoying all of it) that was Rapture. It just got inside my head and told me a story, granted a weird one.
Something I found fascinating, if it was not for Blondie and their choice to make that song then rap/hip hop may have been stunted a little longer from getting into the public stream.
While Blondie did not sing the first commercial Rap song......Christmas Wrapping by the Waitresses I think holds that.
Music is weird...yet awesome.
