Just think, we could sing that over & over in the car if we ever went on that cross-country crime spree we discussed a couple months ago. It could become our Gangsta theme, yo!

For the record I reckon my absolute favourite Blondie track (out of so so many possibles) is probably (se)X Offender, that wonderful off key note every verse gets me every time.
About as close to the perfect song as I've heard I think.
Perfect pop.

The whole post was just an excuse to get a lovely picture of Debbie on my site....
Oh that and the fantastic music of course...[;)]

I think Plastic Letters edges it for me too, but that maybe because it was the first one I heard so always has a special place in my heart.

I would probably say

1. Island of Lost Souls (If I'm not mistaken I'm the only person to mention this one)
2. Heart of Glass
3. War Child
4. X Offender
5. One Way or Another

Also Debbie Harry's solo stuff is even better IMO.

My favorite is "Union City Blues." I spnet the summer of '83 living in North Bergen. NJ. Union City was just across Kennedy Blvd. from me. I'd rank "Atomic" and "Dreaming" 2nd and 3rd.
