 the perfect start June 30, 2009
There's a couple things that have been bothering me lately concerning Blondie and her music, and I want to take a moment to get these things off my chest-
Young kids nowadays seem to think Blondie's music is mainly the kind of power pop that *only* girls should like, because Blondie influenced hundreds and thousands of female power pop bands. This is NOT true.
Back in the 70's it was totally cool to be a man who was a fan of Blondie. Guys liked Blondie for her incredible looks, and women liked Blondie because the music was danceable and poppy. Nowadays, the attitude that Blondie should only be a band women should like is absolutely ridiculous.
Just because cute, fluffy, light power pop/rock with female lead singers is thrown under the category of wimpy pop/rock according to todays generation does NOT mean Blondie should be listed under this category as well.
In fact, what's so appealing about Blondie's debut is how the band has an incredible knack for the catchiest vocal melodies you'll ever hear, and mix them with a radically different sound that was brand new in 1976. Nothing in 1975 or before sounded quite like Blondie as far as female energy, pop hooks, and an influence in new wave is concerned. This was totally different from everything else in 1976.
Also, this is definitely NOT disco music. Blondie had some songs that sound like disco a little bit, but mainly the band is rock, pop and new wave.
Blondie's debut is an absolute winner from the first note to the last. Please pick up this legendary recording.

This great group from the 70s in an embrionic stage before the hype and fame. A major part of the New Wave along with Talking Heads, this a fun, rude set.
best blondie album March 31, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
crisp, fresh and rockin even 25 years later. most interesting lyrics of any of the early blondie (and who really cares about post-parallel lines blondie?). great guitar and organ. underrated drumming on the solos and breaks. lesbian underthemes (seen later in sunday girl and pretty baby). and that voice, all sex.
debbie harry was a huge pioneer.
