CD/DVD Review: Blondie - Greatest Hits - Sound & Vision - Page 2

The DVD delivers Blondie classics like “Denis”, “Picture This”, “Dreaming”, “The Hardest Part”, and “Atomic”, some of which I haven’t seen since Blondie hosted The Midnight Special back in 1979 (rubbing shoulders with the likes of Robert Fripp, Supertramp, Bram Tchaikovsky, and Rick James). I also noticed that the video for "The Tide Is High" is the US VH1 Classic version (video/photo montage) and not the original 1981 version, which was a slight disappointment.

Greatest Hits: Sound & Vision (CD+DVD) is a piece of Rock and Roll history that showcases Blondie’s perfectly-crafted pop songs and first-rate musicianship. After watching and listening to Blondie’s Greatest Hits: Sound & Vision (CD+DVD), there is little doubt that Blondie paved the way for many contemporary acts like Madonna, Gwen Stefani (and No Doubt), Garbage, The Donnas, Hole, Luscious Jackson, and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs to name a few.

The Bottom Line: Blondie’s Greatest Hits: Sound & Vision (CD+DVD) is essential to every Blondie fan’s music collection. Buy it. Own it.

Highly Recommended.
