1. The Tide Is High
2. Hanging On The Telephone
3. Heart Of Glass

Blondie seems to be flavour of the month just now in the UK. There are at least two cover versions/blatant-50%-sampled on the go. I really wish they wouldn’t.

[pldennison]

OOh, Blondie’s one of my favorite bands. My picks:

6. Die Young Stay Pretty
7. Hangin’ on the Telephone
8. Sunday Girl
9. In The Flesh
10. Fade Away and Radiate
11. Dreaming

P.S.: If you ever get a chance, make sure you hear the original version, by The Nerves (starring Peter Case of The Plimsouls) of “Hangin’ On The Telephone.” They bring an amazing amount of energy to the song with only guitar, bass, drums and vocals. Blondie took it to a whole new level.

I have a “b” request, but it’s later in the alphabet than Blue Oyster Cult, so after that but before we quit the letter B can we do Bush?

I feel your pain, but it could be worse. Just try & imagine another Blondie reunion where they go back into the studio and sampled their own old stuff.

The Kickovers (Nate Albert & Joe Sirois of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Mikey Welsh of Weezer) just released a cover of it on their debut album, Osaka.

This weeks poll takes the cake. Passing up Blondie for a band that, by all rights, should have been a one hit wonder. Hell, I could pick six songs at random from the Eat the Beat album, and they’d be better than any 6 songs by Blink182.

Go right ahead, you still have 96 hours.
