Description

I have never been a huge Blondie fan, but there is no denying that they were very good at what they did and they were versatile too. Their music encompassed pop, rock, punk, disco and even reggae. I never liked punk so some of their hits do not appeal to me but Blondie make up for this with a string of classics. All their UK hits from their peak years are here with the exception of War child, which only just made the top forty, so cannot be called essential. You also get Maria, the song that gave them a number one UK hit in the new millennium. Their American chart history is different, but everythingmore… that matters based on the American pop charts can be found here. Indeed, Blondie has always been more popular in Britain than America. My favorites here include Tide is high (a cover of a previously obscure reggae song), Sunday girl, I'm always touched by your presence dear (later covered by singer-comedienne Tracey Ullman), Dreaming, Heart of glass and Hanging on the telephone. These songs are sufficiently appealing to make this a five-star album, but there are some other great songs here too. This is the strongest Blondie compilation yet released. Unless you are a committed fan, this contains everything you'll ever need of their music as a group, although you might still wish to seek out some of Deborah Harry's solo music, none of which is included.
