	Debbie Harry / blondie albums
		The debut album from Blondie contained several memorable tunes, such as "X offender", "In the flesh", "Rip her to shreds", "Rifle range" and "Kung fu girls".
		The album was released in 1977, so I'm afraid I can't remember how big an impact it had on the Danish listeners, 'cause I wasn't very old in '77, but the album in itself is quite a mouthful for a debut album.
		The second album from Blondie was "Plastic letters", also released in '77, the "Blondie" sound is beginning to get substance and form on this album, memorabilia like "Denis" and "(I'm always touched by your) presence dear" are the most notable and definitely among my personal favourites.

	Live by Blondie (lyrics & reviews)
		Blondie is without a doubt one of the greatest live bands ever, and nothing documents this fact like Live in New York, from their 1999 reunion/No Exit tour.
		I understand that Blondie is focused on a comeback period of live performances and wanted to focus on the comeback as opposed to the past.
		Blondie were innovators back in 1980 with "Rapture" and they prove they are still innovators by once again putting a modern spin on a rap-like song.

		Decent early Blondie: be sure it's this bonus track version : "Plastic Letters," Blondie's second album, released in October 1977, was pretty much in a similar vein to their self.titled debut album...
		The mocking girl group sound of Blondie's debut album : Blondie was the most commercially successful band to emerge from the punk/new wave movement of the late 1970s.
		The Best of Blondie : For anyone who hasn't been around along enough to have bought the original copies of the many Blondie singles or for those who wish to upgrade their collection from 7" records to 5" CD's, this is a little gift from EMI.

	Forgive and Forget
		Blondie even tackles hip-hop (1999 style), country, and a remake of one of their own early covers, 'Out in the Streets.' Their sound is still new wave, or what was thought of as cutting edge in 1978, but there's nothing wrong with that.
		Blondie's music was once described as giving the listener the feeling of rotating under glass, and it's an aural pleasure to listen to the singular perfection of Blondie's albums.
		Blondie's success was not a result of Deborah's beauty but because of her talent, and this, hopefully, will be the legacy of Blondie that inspires people in the future.

	TrouserPress.com :: Blondie
		That Blondie may be remembered as perhaps the best singles band to emerge from the new wave era — in fact, a world-class hitmaking powerhouse — is extraordinary for those who recall the group's humble genesis and occasionally appalling early efforts in the mid-'70s.
		Moreover, Blondie largely pursued their commercial and artistic goals in nonconformist fashion, often to the dismay of their record company and even some of their fans.
		The resulting album — fuller, tighter and more authoritatively rocking than the debut — includes the band's first two UK hits, "(I'm Always Touched by Your) Presence, Dear" (written by, and recorded as a sort of tribute to, departed bassist Gary Valentine) and "Denis" (a revamp of the 1963 Randy and the Rainbows oldie).

	Blondie: The Curse of Blondie - review of Blondie's new album featuring Good Boys
		As with most bands of veteran musicians, Blondie's rockers now are tighter and more melodic than the work of the current kids.
		It's the same sort of thing that happened to Sting after The Police dissolved and he got older: He learned more, he got a little better, he lost a lot of his youthful anger, and he started wanting to hear music that was universally pleasant to listen to.
		In the grand scheme of things, an album like this doesn't break any barriers or do much new, but it hangs together well, with a good mix of up-tempo and down-tempo songs, good instrumentation, and some songs, like the sax-filled "Songs of Love" that belong on everyone's romantic mix tapes of the future.

		The single and album each reached the Australian top 5 in October 1977, and a subsequent double-a release of "X-Offender" and "Rip Her to Shreds", was also popular.
		During the late 1980s and into the early 1990s, Blondie's past work was recognised by a new generation of fans and artists such as Madonna,[13] and Chrysalis Records released several collections of remixed versions of some of their biggest hits.
		The resulting album, No Exit, described by Jimmy Destri as "15 songs about nothing",[10] reached number 3 on the UK charts, and the song "Maria"—which Destri had written while in high school[14]—became Blondie's sixth UK number one single.

	From The Vault... The WSVNRadio.net Archives
		Blondie was on the rise as an up and coming New Wave/Punk band in the late 1970s, when the latest new sound was becoming popular.
		Blondie, featuring a lead vocalist blonde (obviously) turned heads to the male-dominated rock world, but towards the end of the 1970s, female acts were becoming (if not more) popular than their male rock allies.
		Blondie's next album, Parallel Lines became their breakthrough album, which would feature their first #1 hit record, "Heart Of Glass." Other album tracks from this album included "Picture This," a new wave rocker, which proved that by each album made, Blondie was becoming better, and tighter as a band.

	BlueBeat.com - Artist Page: Blondie
		Blondie was the most commercially successful band to emerge from the much-vaunted punk/new wave movement of the late '70s.
		Blondie followed with their fourth album, Eat to the Beat, in October.
		The Hunter, Blondie's sixth and last new album, was released in May 1982, preceded by the single "Island of Lost Souls," a Top 40 hit in the U.S. and U.K. "War Child" also became a Top 40 hit in the U.K., but The Hunter was a commercial disappointment.

	Blondie Reviews
		Alright then, this is the greatest mega-hit blockbuster album of all time, the type from which half the songs are huge hits and you hear this album everywhere for about a year and a half.
		The only problem with this album is that it makes everything Blondie did before sound like a mere warmup, and everything they did after a disappointment, which just goes to show you how perfect this album is, because some of their other albums are actually good.
		Blondie tackle a lot of styles for their most eclectic album, which unfortunately is as hit and miss as you'd expect.

	Blondie
		Along with the Talking Heads, Blondie gets much of the credit for creating New Wave, a late 70s version of rock and roll that moved away from blues and extended macho guitar solos in favor of punchy, catchy tunes, thoughtful (and/or humorous) lyrics, and cheesy keyboards.
		Both groups were broader than that stereotype, but Blondie was more successful at imitating other styles, topping the charts with disco, rap, and syrupy pop hits without losing their artsy, tongue-in-cheek sensibility.
		One particularity of this album is Valentine's exceptional, articulate bass lines, not heard on any other Blondie album.

		Gahan wrote and co-produced all the songs on the album, and recruited Tony Hoffer (Beck, Air, The Kooks, The Fratellis) to mix the album.
		The latest release of the Casady seems to have broken the spell set on their first two albums.
		CocoRosie's "The Adventures Of Ghosthorse And Stillborn" is a collision of diverse sounds: hip-hop beats, animal noises, and tinny music-box instrumentals swirl behind Bianca Casady's rapping and her sister Sierra's operatic vocals.

	Just Bookz - Blondie From Punk to the Present:A Pictorial History
		Blondie took the music world by storm in the late '70s and early '80s, and the influence of this band and its lead singer Deborah Harry is still being felt today and increasingly recognized with the passage of time.
		Their self-titled first album, Blondie, reflected a punk ethos and 1960s girl group sensibilities or, the Ramones meets the Ronettes, as one music critic opined.
		Blondie made six albums from 1976 to 1982, the most successful being Parallel Lines, considered by many music critics to be one of the best rock albums of all time.

		Blondie’s second post-reunion album rivals their eclectic string of ’70s and ’80s hits for daring.
		The Curse of Blondie opens with Debbie Harry declaiming like a cross between Detroit’s Eminem and Jersey’s Patti Smith and closes with "Desire Brings Me Back" and "Songs of Love," two left turns that recall her occasional turns as an art-song chanteuse with the likes of the Jazz Passengers.
		Blondie sounds strong and vital on their latest release, incorporating a myriad of styles as always, showing versatility and creating a pleasurable listening experience.

		Nianell's swooping three and a half octave vocal range is the thread that binds this remarkable album together.
		Their debut album "Back Seat Driver" sports some incredible new tunes that stick in your head including the headbanging rocker "Best Days Of My Life", "Don't Let Me Go" and the stunning third single "Classroom Blues".
		"Ceremony" is one helluva debut album, one that most artists spend a lifetime trying to achieve from the opening starkness of "Leave the bones" it's clear to the listener that they are in for something special.

	Blondie : Blondie - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
		If new wave was about reconfiguring and recontextualizing simple pop/rock forms of the '50s and '60s in new, ironic, and aggressive ways, then Blondie, which took the girl group style of the early and mid-'60s and added a '70s archness, fit right in.
		True punksters may have deplored the group early on (they never had the hip cachet of Talking Heads or even the Ramones), but Blondie's secret weapon, which was deployed increasingly over their career, was a canny pop straddle -- they sent the music up and celebrated it at the same time.
		This album, released on independent label Private Sound, was not a major hit, but it provided a template for the future.

		Blondie was one of the early New Wave groups that attempted to determine the next evolution of rock music.
		Blondie were the fore runner to all the new wave/punk bands; From No Doubt, Garbage, Cranberries, even Madonna and Greenday have all been influenced by the magic of Blondie, and it's easy to see how on this fantastic collection.
		Blondie, depending who you ask, were a seminal punk/new wave act from New York that managed to place the new sound onto the charts and help usher out disco and bring in the MTV age.

		The Hunter album cover has a blond Debbie on it but it's obviously not a bleached Debbie; this time out Debbie Harry is wearing, quite obviously, a wig.
		It seems preposterous that Debbie would feel it necessary to don a blond wigin order to promote a Blondie album, but it shows how deeply ingrained the public perception of Debbie as Blondie had become and how Debbie felt obliged to live up to their expectations.
		This identity problem, although on the surface it may be only one of hair color, had to do specifically with the character of Blondie as Deborah had created her.

	THE BASEMENT TAPES
		Craig Leon's relationship with Blondie is almost as old as the band itself, and included producing their first two albums -- for the full story see the 'Ancient History' box on page 164.
		At first glance, Blondie's chaotic and haphazard early years might not seem particularly relevant to their most recent project, but according to Leon it was their idiosyncratic roots that spawned the recording styles and techniques used on No Exit.
		With the Blondie album, Leon tried to use very little EQ in the mix, because he prefers to do things in stages -- not over-EQing in the beginning, but fine-tuning as he goes along.

	CNN - Reunited Blondie rapturous again - March 2, 1999
		Blondie brought punk to the masses via such songs as "One Way or Another," revolutionized disco rock with "Heart of Glass," launched rap into the mainstream with "Rapture" and inaugurated the idea of the video vixen frontwoman.
		Yet despite chart-topping singles and high album sales for the next three years -- "Parallel Lines" sold 20 million copies worldwide -- money (or lack thereof, due to bad contracts) became a problem, and Stein was diagnosed with a rare and often fatal genetic disease called pemphigus.
		And Blondie went to work on their seventh album of new material.

	No Exit by Blondie (lyrics & reviews)
		The rest of the album is a breeze for a regular BLONDIE guy like me. Perhaps there are no singles here but I love the kookiness of 'Happy Dog', and the lazy reggae of 'Divine'.
		A reunited BLONDIE is a trip home to your family during the holidays.
		"Blondie is a group," the late '70s ads for this most successful of American new wave bands once proclaimed.

		Just as Blondie's second album, Plastic Letters, was a pale imitation of their self-titled debut, Eat to the Beat, their fourth album, was a secondhand version of their breakthrough third album, Parallel Lines: one step forward, half a step back.
		There was an attempt, on such songs as "The Hardest Part" and "Atomic," to recreate the rock/disco fusion of the group's one major U.S. hit, "Heart of Glass," without similar success, and, elsewhere, the band just tried to cover too many stylistic bases.
		The Tourists were a typical British post-punk power-pop group by the evidence of their U.K.-only debut album, The Tourists.

		Blondie was, of course, one of the premier bands of the late 70s and early 80s, when they racked up four #1 songs.
		I really like Blondie, and I have one of their greatest hits CDs as well as their remix CD from a few years ago.
		What also results in disappointment as far as this release goes is something that plagues most artists who have been around for decades and achieved a kind of legendary status: the pressure to "crowd-please" and play the most popular songs, and not much else.

	* Dusted Reviews - Ada *
		On Blondie, Ada’s debut album, the artist manages to précis most all that’s been individual about her previous recordings (three singles and a few appearances on compilations) while opening a few new windows, displaying a wider scope of aesthetic exploration.
		If the album’s opening builds a head of steam, then “Who Pays the Bills,” dropped midway through the disc, lets it all dissipate in an ungainly manner.
		Blondie’s core — five songs that rank with the best on the Areal label — are so brilliant precisely because they remain partly undefinable.
