One of the greats imho. A huge part of the soundtrack of my youth.

Good choice. Could have chosen any number of Blondie’s tracks to demonstrate his brilliance. Union City Blue is the other that stands out from that album

Definitely, love Union City Blue as well. I love ‘Dreaming’ though, one of my favourite songs by anyone, and the drums are a massive part of it. ‘Dreaming is free’

Legend, was chuffed to finally see 'em in 2023 after several years missing them for no specific reason.
Always found it fun how he didn’t properly fit in with the CBGB vibe, far more Classic rock than post-punk and quite funny how they basically had to ban him talking about Keith Moon/The Who ad nauseam. But that kind of drumming flamboyancy gave a lot of flavour to Blondie, they really benefited from it.

Yeah sure there’s a vid where he’s got one of those Mod ‘target’ jumpers on whilst playing just like Moon.

Every drum fill on Heart of Glass is memorable - a great powerhouse drummer
