Probably "Heart of Glass", but really like "Call Me" also.

Love both Heart of Glass and Call Me but prefer Call Me slightly.

I voted for The Tide Is High.
Truthfully, all 3 of the other songs are probably better, but Tide Is High was on the radio the first time I kissed a girl, so that's always been a special tune for me.

Dreaming is my favorite Blondie song. But of the songs listed in the poll, I guess I’ll vote for Call Me.

Union City Blue is my favorite.
It might be almost forgotten now that Call Me was the opening theme to a Richard Gere movie:

Dreaming is my favorite Blondie song. But of the songs listed in the poll, I guess I’ll vote for Call Me. Good choice! "Dreaming" might very well be my favorite Blondie song as well. It is a lovely song, filled with wonder and effervescence. It just didn't reach number one.

Heart of Glass. But there are probably a few songs I like better. Like this one: and this... and a few others. I'm liking all the input here. I love "Sunday Girl". It's the musical equivalent of vanilla ice cream. "Union City Blues" is nice. Not much more than that to me. But definitely easy to the ears. My quick top 15 Blondie songs Dreaming I Didn't Have the Nerve to Say No Love at the Pier Angels on the Balcony Sunday Girl Heart of Glass Hanging on the Telephone One Way or Another In the Sun Kung Fu Girls Danceway T-Birds I'm Always Touched By Your Presence (Dear) Faces Slow Motion

Those were great days. I saw them at the Whiskey A-Go-Go in West Hollywood and the club was absolutely packed. The energy level was off the charts and it was tough to get a good look at what was going on. The show sounded great, Debbie looked awesome. The other time was at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach and I was surprised that it was a relatively sparse turnout for it. They allowed 18 and over in both clubs at the time but of course I couldn't get the stamp that allowed me to buy a drink while I was in there. It was over priced Coca Cola or Perrier for me. At the Golden Bear I could leave my drink at the bar and walk straight up to the front of the stage and hardly encounter any people at all. What luck. I did that once and stood right up front in the center of the stage for like three songs once that night and I must have had drool running down my face the entire time. Debbie took time between two songs while I was there to get a white towel and mop up some of the sweat that went along with her dancing around while singing. After rubbing herself dry she walked up to the front of the stage right in front of me extended the towel and dropped it right on my head. It brought a few laughs from what audience there was. I loved it.

Hate to be crude here, but if I got lucky enough to score a towel drenched with Debbie Harry's sweat? Well......that towel would see many things. 😁

That's so cool. Like the other poster said, I hope you kept that towel. To have been a young adult in the 70s would have been amazing. I saw Blondie perform in 1999. It was right after their "No Exit" album. It was this outside venue 30 minutes or so North of Chicago. I don't remember the lineup of songs, but they appeared alongside Pat Benetar. So that was cool. But your experience in 1977 is way cooler.

I voted Heart of Glass (although for me their best song from that period is Atomic) but I want to express some love for Rapture even though the rapping is rather cheesy.

I'm torn between Heart Of Glass and Rapture.

Heart of Glass
I also like Rapture because it's so odd and the verse melody is beautiful.
