It's generally recognised as the beginning of New Wave...the whole CBGB's scene gave rise to the greats of the NW scene.

CBGB's did give a boost to many new wave artists, but Heart of Glass had nothing to do with it. From what I can remember, Blondie had the very first New Wave hit of the 80's with "Call Me"

*shrugs* I'm not the New Wave expert here. My interest is late 60s psychadelia, current altern/'indie' stuff, local music.

I'm the Wannabe New Wave expert.

BTW welcome back Trimac! :)

I don't underestimate him. I understimate a certain slightly mad, delusional 16-yo from the backwoods of Oregon who thinks he's Donnie Darko, for some reason. ;)
