Autoamerican is the fifth studio album by the American rock band Blondie. It was released in November 1980 and reached No. 3 in the UK charts, No. 7 in the US, and No. 8 in Australia. The album was a radical departure for the band, with opening track "Europa" setting the pace.

From the disc face: Made in the . From the booklet: All tracks ℗ 1980, 2001 Chrysalis Records, Inc. except where noted.

1980's Autoamerican found Blondie exploring a variety of sounds from the reggae of monster hit The Tide is High to the Lerner and Loewe torch song Follow Me to this fairly new thing at the time called ra. I actually would have been happy to get the "Best Of Blondie" album instead which has the 2 outstanding tracks from this album on it except that inexplicably the album version of "Rapture" is not on that album!

Blondie's fifth album, Autoamerican, marked a major change in musical direction. It may not have continued the ongoing success of the band's first four albums, but it was still fairly decent by anybody's standards. After Eat to the beat, Blondie could have gone several ways, but not in the way that any die-hard fan of the band or indeed anyone who listened to the major radio stations would have thought.

Album Name Autoamerican. Released date November 1980. Labels Chrysalis Records. Members owning this album11.
