Album: Eat to the Beat
Year: 1979
For a four-year period between 1979 – 1982, Blondie were probably the premier singles act going. In terms of both quality and quantity, their only peers during that period were The Clash, The Police, Squeeze and, er Rush. But none of those acts cranked out as many singles that were as disparate, experimental AND popular. And out of all of the classic Blondie singles from that era, my favorite is easily 1979’s “Dreaming”
And the reason I love “Dreaming” so much can be summed up in two words: Clem Burke.
