BLONDIE "parallel lines" vinyl, 1978
chart high: US #6, AU #2, CAN #2, UK #1
the band's third of eleven releases, I own two plus a compilation...
hadn't heard any Blondie for a long while so I was eager to hear how they fare
after a hiatus from my record player...
the album that really broke the band to a worldwide audience with the mega-hit
"heart of glass"....
very versatile band showing off their punk, new wave, pop, 60's pop and disco skills...
my opinion of this album and possibly the band in general is still the same as it always
was, lots of brilliant tracks but offset with filler and not so good tunes...
that said, when they were good, they were bloody good and that makes up for the bad IMO...
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
