Can't remember if it's from Blondie's First or Second Album. The song is about Pia Zadora.

5. I say entire Parrellel Lines disc but I also like Debby Harry's solo

[Outvoicer]

8. the hardest part ...

is choosing just one.

i voted for "Dreaming" out of the poll choices.

When it comes to their more recent stuff, i'm quite partial to "Screaming Skin."

i really dig "Slow Motion" and "Angels On The Balcony."

Yeah... "Dreaming" is the best choice (if i gotta choose, mind you).

[arwalden]

9. Didn't You Do This Poll Already?

[NightTrain]

16. No

Did somebody else, and I missed it? :shrug:

[LanternWaste]

10. French Kissing in the USA

French Kissing in the USA.

Dunno why, but I've dug that song since the fist time I hear it.

[theemu]

12. "Parallel Lines" as an album

But specifically, "Hanging on the Telephone", "11:59", "Pretty Baby" and "Don't Go Away"

[ornotna]

13. either

Screaming Skin or Boom Boom in the Zoom Zoom Room

[mitchum]

14. "Dreaming" and "Fade Away and Radiate" stand out, but ...

they had so much good stuff

[David Zephyr]

17. Call Me Shallow, But For Me, It's "Call Me"

I love that girl.

[Sufi Marmot]

18. (I'm AlwaysTouched By Your) Presence, Dear

I love that song...

[DemBones DemBones]

19. Anybody see Debbie Harry in "Hairspray" last week?

It was on IFC. I hadn't seen it in years and it's great fun, especially if you were in high school in the sixties.

[NightTrain]

20. I saw "Hairspray" theatrically in 1988

Terrific film with an awesome soundtrack!

"Bend over, let me see ya shake a tail feather!"

[GregW]

21. Either "Kung Fu Girls" or "Attack of the Giant Ants"

[regnaD kciN]

22. "Maria"...

...from their 1999 album No Exit. My second choice would have been all of Parallel Lines, but how can I resist lines like "She walks like she don't care/Walking on imported air," when coupled with a great tune?

[Slippery_Hammer]

23. "Shayla"

"Shayla"

Shayla worked in a factory
She wasn't history. She's just a number
One day she gets her final pay
And she goes far away
Green trees call to me
I am free but life is so cheap
Scenery is still outside of me
All alone, trapped by its beauty

Shayla turned to run away
To leave in peace and end her stay
Years of fear were in her way
Lost in space and down she came

Suddenly some subtle entity
Some cosmic energy brushed her like shadows
Down here we stop to wonder
Cars on the freeway. Bright lights and thunder


"Call Me" a album cut junkie, if you will. At one time or another I might have picked any of the songs on this list but for me this song stands the test of time.
