Capturing Blondie's essence and outlining the band's achievement
2006 | Label: CAPITOL

Like other new wave groups active in the early days of MTV (Simple Minds, OMD, Berlin), Blondie put their musical mark on a film, and had their greatest chart score with "Call Me," which Giorgio Moroder co-wrote and produced as the theme song for American Gigolo. The powerfully seductive dance track's inclusion adds to the value and completeness of this excellent singles collection, whose 19 tracks capture Blondie's essence and outline the band's achievement, while sloughing off the uneven results of their more audacious experimentation. It aptly summarizes No Exit, the band's 1999 reunion record, with exactly one track, the wonderful "Maria," and holds The Hunter down to a single shot as well. Otherwise, this is everything you need to hear, from "X-Offender" to "Rapture," "Hanging on the Telephone" to "Heart of Glass."

This drives me to… more »

Icon: Blondie

By Ira Robbins, eMusic Contributor

In the fall of 1975, when Blondie could often be found playing the back room of Mother's, a gay bar-turned-rock club on West 23rd Street, it seemed far from likely that they (or, for that matter, any of the amazing bands at the forefront of New York's quixotic rock scene) would go very much further. Or that they even wanted to. While Blondie's self-conscious revivalism held plenty of in-crowd appeal for the motley crew of… more »
