Re: Pat Benatar or Blondie?
I know they are to different genre's and both great singers but if I had to choose, I'd have to go with Pat Benatar.
Her range was awesome, she could hit every high note, every low note and had a ton of hits.
I was listening to her greatest hits cd and I can remember listening to 45's I had of her down in my basement and singing along when I was a teen. Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Promises In The Dark [favorite] Fire and Ice, then in later years with Invincible [Billie Jean - what's fair is fair movie..LOL] Love is a Battlefield, We Belong - great stuff.
Aside from Christina Aguleria, you don't hear to many singers like this anymore.
Re: Pat Benatar or Blondie?
Interesting question. While I'd have to say Blondie was more artsy whereas Pat Benatar was more a pure pop hits machine (We Belong & Love is a Battlefield seem straight out of an 80's movie soundtrack), I had to look at their greatest hits cd. Benatar had more hit songs, and bigger one's, but I dunno, I wonder if alot of it was fabricated & just given songs similar to Aguilera & Spears (wasn't Hit Me with you Best Shot written by John Mellencamp?!) whereas Blondie wrote the songs a la Gwen Stefani & No Doubt.
I'm going to go with Blondie on the credibility factor. Just my $.02.

Pet Benatar, I tend to actually like her songs. Which is unusual. The Kelly Clarkson of her time.

Her older stuff is more rock driven - If you listen to Promises in the Dark it's a rock song very guitar driven, Hell is for Children, Heartbreaker, even Hit Me With You're Best Shot I don't think I would consider pop etc. Even Shadows of The Night had a heavy guitar to it.
Definitely Love is A Battlefield, Invincible, We Belong, We Live For Love, definitely pop catagory.
I liked her better in her rock years but overall she is one of my favorite artists.
I liked Blondie too but not as much as PB.

I know I would recognize these songs if I heard them, but when I read the titles nothing came to mind. I'll check out the previews on Amazon.
