100. Blondie “Rip Her to Shreds” (from Blondie)

The video is from a live version around 1979. Debbie is coked up and sexy as hell.

Blondie was really more of a New Wave band (among the first ever) than a punk rock band, but this tune from their debut album was pretty much punk rock. The lyrics remain, to this day, acerbic, mean and brilliant.

Not a fan of this song or the album but it’s definitely in the OG New Wave genre imo. It has a clunky feel but not really in a bad way. Sort of reminds me of a lighter version The Stooges. Just doesn’t work for me .
Good year for music
 
That’s a banger start - though by the end of 1976 few outside CBGB or Max’s Kansas City had ever heard of them.

Not a big deal but personally I don’t think this one could be objectively called a 1976 release.

Originally released on Private Stock in January of 1977, although test pressings date from December of 1976 and some may have been sent out as promos at that time. Chrysalis bought out their contract in August of 1977 so they repressed it after that time.

More than one Kansas fan regards this as perhaps their greatest song. I couldn’t do that, but it certainly encapsulates the band during their heyday, with the violins, piano solos, quasi-religious lyrics, sudden musical changes and an epic finish.
 
I had a similar experience with Kansas as I did with Supertramp (not spotlighting, even Timmay couldn’t shoehorn a release into 1976.)

Loved the first four albums (1st 5 for the UK band) when each release was something fresh. Once they started falling back on catchy formulaic hooks geared for radio play I lost all interest.

Wore the grooves out on Leftoverture. It’s not one I return to much these days, but always feel a wave of nostalgia when I hear something off this one or Song for America.

Never heard this before, Kansas was never my bag and nothing’s changed with this song. I do like their 1 hit that I know of. Singer sounds like he has great chops. All in all I’m glad I listened

Ive learnt to look the other way with release dates.
Outside Australia, Blondie didnt impact until 1978.
The debut album was released in December 1976
In the Flesh was released in 1977 and hit #2 in Australia. It was a mistake.
The national tv program “Countdown” was meant to play X Offender, but accidentally played In the Flesh.

The debut album hit #14 in 1977 in Australia, but charted nowhere else until it hit #75 in the UK in 1979

Rip Her to Shreds was released in 1976 on the album, late 1977 as a single and in the only place it charted, Australia, it hit #81 in march 1978

The follow up LP Plastic Letters was released in February 1978, although wiki says September 1977 and December 1977

Not the best Tom Waits song, but arguably the most quintessential. By his third album he had created the barfly persona that would last the rest of his career, while still composing some of the best tunes of the decade.

You’ve done well recently, Tim - no offense though, this is awful.

Best YouTube comment from the clip:

Would love to hear Rowlf the Dog sing this.

Well I figured there might not be much love for that pick but I stand by it. There’s another Tom Waits song coming up a little later too- sorry guys.

Graham Parker was from the pub rock group of British artists that also produced Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, and Nick Lowe. Parker was working as a gas station attendant when he released this album, his first. Like Costello in particular he was an angry young man (perhaps even angrier). He was never as talented a writer as EC but that didn’t keep him from releasing some excellent power pop of the era, like this song.

This album was produced by Nick Lowe, and I had several LPs each from Costello & Jackson. Discovered Parker much later, long after the Rumour broke up and he was with another band.

Coming in at 1:35 this will be the shortest song on this list. I can only wonder what it must have been like for people who listened to this album in 1976, so different from anything on the radio. Personally it would take several more years for this band to enter my consciousness- I would guess around 1980.

Probably not being on the east coast and more likely the northeast had everything to do with it. Even still if you just listened to “classic rock” here you still wouldn’t been aware. It’s funny to think now what a difference there was well before the internet.
I remember going into Boston with my friends to see Rock n Roll High School when it came out. We were all around 14-15.

I was fifteen when I heard the Ramones in 1989 and they made so much sense. Too much sense. I loved them. I didn’t realize until I’d buy their compilations and records exactly how much they flirted with nihilism and slightly fascistic undertones. (Even if I always thought that whatever Johnny and Joey really thought about things, they took the piss out of whatever could be construed that way by delivery and execution—John McKay of the Buccaneers is all for it, by the way!—alone.)

Now I wanna sniff some glue
Now I wanna have something to do
All the kids wanna sniff some glue
All the kids want something to do

Greatest pictograph/pie chart I’ve ever seen at the link (no exaggeration). The only one that comes close is the one I linked after the Ramones one, and that one takes the cake for Venn diagrams.

This track has as much in common with early 70s singer-songwriter material as it does with "pub rock" and that sort of stuff. Which is probably a major reason why you like it so much.

I didn’t see Rock N Roll High School in the theater; I saw it on the USA channel- Night Flight. Probably around 82 or so. That show was an introduction to so much music for me that has affected my tastes ever since.

It’s a classic; everybody knows it. Cheesy but great. There are actually lyrics involved, not too many though.

This fall I’m going to Philadelphia for the first time. My nephew got admitted to Drexel so I’m gonna visit him, before flying to Pittsburgh and taking in a Steeler home game (also for the first time.) Of course I will visit, along with the Liberty Bell, the Rocky steps. I have to.

A contemporaneous Ramones album review:

What the Ramones do is deliver a nonstop set of short, brisk, monochromatically intense songs. ... conventional considerations of pace and variety are thrown calculatedly to the winds. The ingredients are simplicity itself.
Click to expand...

14 songs, none longer than 2:35, the entire LP comes in at 29:04.

Reminds me of something I heard someone say while we sat around getting stoned listening to it. “I don’t like songs that make me think.” For a disaffected teenager, just perfect.

This is a terrible choice. You need to go later in the year and prioritize two things: seeing a college basketball game at The Palestra, and then sitting in Acrisure Stadium during terrible weather.

Chiefs on Christmas afternoon or TBD v Bengals January 5th seem like prime candidates for the latter.

I couldn’t quickly find basketball schedules but Drexel is an honorary becomes an official Big 5 member in 2023-24 & sometimes schedules games there.


The song is also a terrible choice, but I expected 20% of your picks to be an abomination. I’m reasonably confident the current 33% will normalize as we get further into this.

Not nearly as egregious as going to Philly and not visiting the Cathedral of College Basketball, though.

@BobbyLayne has terrible taste in music. This is a great song selection. I agree with him on going to a Big 5 CBB game, though.

What Stillers' game are you going to see?

It’s a classic; everybody knows it. Cheesy but great. There are actually lyrics involved, not too many though.

This fall I’m going to Philadelphia for the first time. My nephew got admitted to Drexel so I’m gonna visit him, before flying to Pittsburgh and taking in a Steeler home game (also for the first time.) Of course I will visit, along with the Liberty Bell, the Rocky steps. I have to.

@BobbyLayne has terrible taste in music. This is a great song selection. I agree with him on going to a Big 5 CBB game, though.

What Stillers' game are you going to see?

God, that would be like watching Duke/Carolina in hoops for me. I could only hope for a tie. Enjoy!

Joan Armatrading’a self titled third album was her breakthrough- around the world that is, not in the United States where she remains to this day an obscure, almost unknown artist. But her combination of jazz and pop, along with her amazing vocals, produced some of the best songs of the era. Like this one.

Big fan.

The self-titled Armatrading album produced by the great Glyn Johns is one of the most gorgeous sounding records of any era.
