Vote for a Blondie tune

[melons]

Also, it is the soundtrack of pretty much every bit of teenage nightclub action I had. The tune just says FUCK! NOW!

 

i've got a bra that says that, i plan on wearing it if i ever get out again.

Excellent work - when you do, get yourself round here.

Where and when? Wil Jet Black be drumming? Surely not, he's about 80 years old by now.

Blondie and the Stranglers at Echo Arena Liverpool

Every year or so I re-fall in love with Debbie Harry. Just did again. I could look at her all day long.

That was Nena. Excellent song though.

I know what you mean. Stunning. Lots of varied looks too. I love her in this vid...

She hasn't.

 

I know she didn't used to move much anyway, but she was static when I saw them last year. Rheumatic static.

 

I'd go for:

 

The Hardest Part

Atomic

Heart of Glass

 

Great, great band. Clem Burke is worth the entrance fee alone.

Camp bestival? (ok that's the last weekend in July, but close enough)

 

We see them then.

 

 

 

 

 

I saw Newton Faulkner on the line up the other week, excitedly announced to the kids he was there; my youngest daughter burst into tears thinking Blondie wasn't turning up.

they are on in town at the academy this august. They were decent at the echo arena, well worth £35 or so. Obviuosly not in their prime anymore but still a great voice.

[Faustus]

Hanging On The Telephone.

 

A fantastic pop tune. Lust in music form. Fuck all sexier than Debbie Harry singing "oh I can't control myself."

 

Nowadays, though, she's proof that time can be a cruel master.

Pretty Baby on Parallel Lines

 

This, but as it's not on the poll I voted Union City Blue for one of the greatest intros imaginable.

As for Parallel Lines, possibly my favourite album ever.

[chris71]

She's on Something for the weekend, now on BBC2.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Great band, great music and a great poll.

 

Rep for Lurtz; for his fine and continued excellent musical taste.

 

1. Union City Blue

2. Picture This

3. Sunday Girl.

Were going to kendal calling the week after.

[Champ]

Off to see them tonight with my hawk-owning neighbour and his missus. No idea what to expect but it should be a memorable night. They always are when Marc's involved

[KMD7]

1. Dreaming

 

2. Hanging on the telephone

 

3. Union City Blue

 

Great band and Debbie Harry was probably the sexiest woman on the planet when they were at their peak.

 

Oh and have a great night Champ! My friend saw them in Dublin last week and said they were excellent

[halewood pete]

I recently added three faces to the beautiful faces thread,and Debbie was the first one I thought of.stunning.

[Stouffer]

Seen them a fortnight ago. Still ace. They fucked up Maria at the start and endind up pissing themselves laughing before restarting properly.

 

The young guitarist they've got with them is a darn good player.

 

Enjoy.

Old girlfriend of mine lived in Debbie Harry's house in Hawthorne NJ.

True story.

'Dreaming' for me. One of the greatest singles of all-time... as are 'Heart Of Glass', 'Union City Blue' and 'Hanging On The Telephone' but there's something about 'Dreaming' that's just absolutely perfect.

Sunday Girl is the most evocative Blondie song for me.

 

I can honestly, still vividly remember hearing that song on the radio every morning when I was about 8, waking up to it, my Ma in the kitchen, buttered crumpets for brekky. Big smile on my face, off to school with a spring in my step and that song in my heart.

 

Forgive my self indulgence (!), but even today Sunday Girl still makes me smile like a dippy kid. Just a perfect pop song. Love it.
