Blondie?

I haven't really done much posting about music on this blog for a couple of reasons:

1) I've become insanely out of the loop with today's music. I've purchased maybe 7 CDs this year and none of them have been listened to more then 10 times. For a guy, that has 600+ CDs, that says alot. I also don't have the patience to watch MTV or listen to radio since most of the music is either crappy or just the same thing I've heard a million times before.

2) Since music is highly subjective in nature, it's hard to form an opinion beyond "I like X or Y" unless you're really into music. And right now, I'm not really into music.

That being said, I'm a bit puzzled by the inclusion of Blondie in this year's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. I mean, can you name ten Blondie songs? "Heart of Glass", "Call Me" and the one with the rapping are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head. Is that enough to qualify? Is it just because Debbie Harry was insanely fuckable back in her prime? Did she sleep with every person on the nomination comittee?

At least Sabbath and the Sex Pistols have a lasting effect on heavy metal and punk respectively. Blondie? really?
