Song of the Day: 'Danceway' by Blondie
They're having a poll over on the Blondie / Debbie Harry Facebook Fan Club to name your favorite song off "The Hunter." Longtime Blondie fans knows all about the album's much-maligned reputation -- the band was unraveling when it was recorded, which was done more out of contract obligation than artistic expression. But when I went to give my answer I realized the record -- which admittedly pales in comparison to the group's first five -- is much stronger than even I had given it credit for. Although "Danceway" is a standout -- as songs written by Jimmy Destri often are -- I just as easily could have picked "War Child" or "(Can I) Find the Right Words (to Say)," with "Dragonfly" (which I only began to really appreciate in the past few years), their jilted Bond theme, "For Your Eyes Only," "English Boys" (I know some find it schmaltzy but I adore it) or "The Beast" right behind.
So Blondie fans: What's YOUR favorite song on "The Hunter"?
