In Ten Tracks is not a best of or greatest hits or even necessarily a list of favorites. They're songs by an artist that stuck with me for various reasons through the years. Mix tape/playlist staples
Great song, but not one I revisit as often as those on the list. I go from thinking—’what a dumb song’ to ‘wow, this was pretty perfect.’ Definitely one of their memorable tracks.
This is fantastic! I was a little young when Blondie was in their prime and don’t think I’ve ever listened to an album in its entirety. That feels criminal now having heard this wonderful selection of tracks. I’ve got ETTB queued up for listening now and looking forward to digging into their catalog. Thanks for the comprehensive intro!
That's a great list, and I would just put in a word for their Buddy Holly cover, "I'm Gonna Love You Too" which is both faithful to the original, and completely Blondie.
Parallel Lines is one of my all-time favorite albums. I particularly love Hanging on the Telephone, One Way or Another, and 11:59.
No matter how you slice it, it’s a stone cold classic.
No Rapture?

Great stuff. Fade Away and Radiate always sounds incredible!
I always find that a Fripp appearance tends to make a song pretty memorable, but ‘Fade Away’ is just a damned good song!
Fantastic mix of deep cuts and other staples by the band!
