Atomic: The Very Best of Blondie is a two-disc compilation with a spotty best-of on one disc and a collection of remixes on another. Disc one is a satisfactory overview, containing most of the group's biggest and best hits -- "Atomic," "Heart of Glass," "Rapture," "Hanging on the Telephone," "Rip Her to Shreds," "Tide Is High" -- but several other Blondie compilations do a better job, and they don't come with a disc of remixes that aren't of any interest to casual fans.
