Yup, there is and it fucking rules! My preferred version by a long way. There's also a longer version, iirc.

Eat To The Beat must have been the first video-album. or one of the first few. there weren't too many i guess. i know Soft Cell had a stab at one, Eurythmics too.

The Tide is High >>> Rapture
though i don't think TTiH is going to make my ballot because of over exposer.

been having a blast listening to this band this week. haven't even replayed Parallel Lines but i know that album inside and out. close to every song from there will probably make it.

"Scenery" is a nifty obscure Blondie demo... I think this might sneak onto my ballot. I'd forgotten it, but I first heard it on that "Blonde & Beyond" comp from the early 90s. Along with "X Offender" and "Presence, Dear," it really make me wish Gary Valentine had written more songs for the band...

Fan Mail has a shot at being my number one, as far as favs that weren't hits go.
― albvivertine, Friday, 30 June 2017 03:49 (six years ago) link
i always seem to have the wrong pick so many of my selections, so this is more par for the norm for me. this is why i love ILM, where i can find some like souls and the board delivers again and again.

I like "Tide Is High" as a song, but Blondie's version is not my favorite version so I can't see voting for it.

'Rapture' > 'The Tide Is High' ... although 'Rapture' is possibly my least favourite of Blondie's "disco" numbers...

genuinely baffled as to how anything but Union City Blue could possibly win. it has a unique atmosphere that song; you never hear anything else with quite that kind of upbeat yearning quality to it. IMO.
― piscesx, Friday, 30 June 2017 21:43 (six years ago) link
It very well could end up my #1, but I haven't banged out a ballot yet.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Friday, 30 June 2017 21:50 (six years ago) link
Yeah, 'Union City Blue' is a favourite of mine too!

The better of the circa-1998/9 AIDS elegies from a veteran female pop star making a "comeback," I'd argue.

Ballot sent. I really wish this had been Top 25 - so hard to cut some tracks.

Voted. Looking forward to the 1,000 post long argument as to which version of "Atomic" is best, single or LP.

LP, of course.

Yeah I will send out emails once I've processed the ballot.
Also I'm going to be pretty busy all weekend so I'm going to keep the voting period open until Monday.

16 ballots in so far, not too bad but more would be great. Any received in the next 24 hour will be counted.
