New poll! "Rapture" vs. "Genius of Love"
Added 2023-12-14 22:55:00 +0000 UTCAn episode about classic hip-hop! And as we all know, hip-hop is best when performed by white people. So vote now for the best new-wave act getting into this thing called "rap" "music". Is it "Rapture" by Blondie or the ever-sampled "Genius of Love" by Tom Tom Club?

I hope one of these days Todd does an episode of the whitest rap songs of all time. I would also like to put Randy Newman's Masterman and Baby J in the running for that list.

2023-12-22 22:18:31 +0000 UTC"Genius of Love" is just so meh. It's got to be Blondie's "Rapture" which is interesting and funky and trying something. It may seem cringe looking back from 2023, but it was pretty groundbreaking. Also fun. (Source--I turned 12 in 1980. Stop saying you're old, Lina!)
