I can't pick just one, but my favorites are Call Me, One Way or Another, The Tide is High, Rapture, Atomic, & Rip Her to Shreds. I think that's all of them but I'm sure I'll remember more later. Talk about bringing back the good ole days memories!

There are so many good ones, and everyone seems to have memories associated with them. They are good party songs so they are heard quite a lot I suppose.

I love Blondie! I like One Way or Another, and I also like Heart of Glass. I used to listen to her when I was in primary school and felt very punk rock for a little kid!

Yes they were called punk but there music is really more pop by British standards.

I'm not great at quoting lyrics but I gotta try cuz I love this song!
The tide is high, but I'm moving on
I'm gonna be your number one...
Every girl wants you to be her man
but I'll wait me dear til its my turn.
I'm not the kinda girl who gives up just like that
Oh noooo no...
I know theres more but I'll stop here. lol
I also liked another one. I think it was called Rapture. The one where she raps about the man from mars. Those are the two blondie songs that I knew. I really don't know of any other ones. Those two were popular on the radio when I was a kid.

There's another good one that sounds a bit like rapture but without the rapping, called "Fade Away and radiate", I like that one too.

Wow! Blondie, I loved Debbie Harry what a blast from the past! I have got her greatest hits and she is such a beautiful attractive woman, fantastic vocals. As for my favourite song of hers, well that's difficult, so many great songs, Heart of Glass was the most famous one, I liked the video to that one, the less known ones like Island of Lost Souls and In Love with Love. The only one I didn't like was the duet with Iggy Pop I think Well Did You Evah! Some crap lyrics and a swear word which I picked up as a little kid at the time! Fond memories, thanks for reminding me of them!

It is hard to pick just one as they did so many good songs, and the lesser known ones are some of the best. I liked the duet with Iggy Pop I thought it was funny.

I have two... why is that? I never can choose one favourite. lol.
My first Blondie favourite of all time is "The Tide is High" and the second "Walking on Broken Glass". I loved Blondie a few years ago, but I saw an aged Blondie on television about a year ago, with another guy... can't remember who he was now, but she was very cutting and derisive with this guy. If I had been the talk show host, I would have felt most uncomfortable. So, I went off her a bit.
Brightest Blessings, my friend.

She's obviously had a lot of plastic surgery too which is sad as we all know how she is, I wish she'd grown old a bit more gracefully.

My mum used to have lots of Blondie tapes so I listened to them a lot as a child and have a lot of memories associated with them.

I've read the responses given by your other respondents, and although I liked 'Call Me' from American Gigolo (Richard Gere sleeping with women - methinks, he protesteth too much!), I'm going with my other fave, as it's not been mentioned 'Union City Blue'. I really don't know why this track does it for me, though as an ex-DJ it may be that I have heard the others requested too often, and liked it as a change.
There have also been some good cover versions of 'Atomic' which I liked.

Just a little bit of useless info.
Clem Burke went on to drum for a band called the 'Adult Net', with the Falls ex, Brix E Smith, and ex-Smiths guitarist, Jonny Marr. They did a great cover of the old Strawberry Alarm Clock, hippy classic, 'Incense and Peppermints'!

"Hanging on the Telephone". I love that song, and sadly I am old enough to remember it when it first came out, and remember seeing her singing it live too. I used to be a great Blondie fan in my dim and distant past!

I like most of Blondie's songs a lot, but l must say "Hart of Glass" is my favorite. I think mostly because l would change the lyrics to.....soon found out he was a pain in the @ss. It's one of those songs that sticks in your head.

Mine would have to be "Picture This" - I loved Blondie as a teenager...she was one of my role models - very cool but also sexy. An original.

BLONDIE is the best! I would say "Picture This" is my favorite, though I am not sure why. Every song touches me some how...
