Essential

by Blondie

Overview

Essential is a single-disc compilation that serves as a satisfactory Blondie overview, containing most of the group's biggest and best hits -- "Atomic," "Heart of Glass," "Rapture," "Hanging on the Telephone," "Rip Her to Shreds," "The Tide Is High" -- but several other compilations, including the stellar Blondie Singles Collection: 1977-1982, do a better job. ~ Andy Kellman
