My buddy Skweek was a roadie for them at that time in NYC.

Don’t think Blondie even had 20 great songs.

Blondie. Another great band that got its start/breakthru at NYC’s CBGB.

1980. Top down on the car. Driving thru the downtown with Blondie’s “Rapture” playing on the radio. Good times.

That’s a good list. There’s some in 20-11 my gut says should be higher, but then I look at the top 10 and not what I’d displace. Great band. Great singer.

I think Deborah Harry's greatest 'song' was in the movie Videodrome.

It wasn't really a 'song', and she didn't really 'sing'.

I listen to my Nerves CD more than I listen to my Blondie CDs. And Plimsouls too, since they evolved from the Nerves.

Grauniad and their fake lists. No sign of Detroit 442 on that list. Maybe they didn’t like that Debbie wore an outfit reminiscent of a dominatrix in the video for that song?

I know six songs pretty well, and a few others somewhat.

Hanging on the Telephone is probably my favorite, but it is a very dated song ("I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall ...")

Dreaming, by far, has always been my favorite Blondie tune. Clem Burke’s drum work on that one is spectacular.

My favorite Blondie vid. Youtube had it down for a while for some reason, but it's back.

I have completely lost track of time. I would have guessed Deborah Harry to be around 60 years old. She’s 76.
