I guess some people might say the same thing about ABBA , but then ABBA never had Debbie Harry`s coolness.

I used to absolutely love the Heart of Glass video for some reason as a kid. To be honest I still do!

I haven't really delved into any Blondie albums but I've heard most of their hits.

I always found Blondie were a fantastic singles band but pretty weak as an album band, the exception to that rule being Parallel Lines and probably Eat to the Beat.

I like Parallel Lines except for a couple of tracks or so that let it down for me. They had great hits though and from what I remember did better in Britain and Australia than America.

Some of the videos are ok. Heart of Glass that someone mentioned has a bit of sparkle to her in it, along with that glitterball. My favourite track might be Union City Blue and it's a nice expansive opening to the visuals in the video, with some humour with the dancing at the end. Maybe their best video. Hanging on the Telephone uses the cover background on the Parallel Lines sleeve, with those parallel lines. And Rapture has a nice walk through meeting some strange looking people from what I remember.

I like how Blondie evolved, from more rock/punk to some quality pop music.

Agnetha could look quite cool.

"Rapture" has always been my favorite single by Blondie.

I preferred the later Blondie stuff as opposed to her songs such as "Rapture". I never liked that and "Heart of Glass" (perhaps because those two were a bit more overplayed than songs such as "Hanging on a Telephone" at least from what I remember). Her stuff in the mid-nineties I liked a lot more though..."Maria" is a fun song.

I should listen to more of her newer songs, but I guess after hearing "Maria" some years ago I wasn't very motivated to hear more. "Maria" seems sort of bland, mainstream, and non-descript to me.

Don't get me wrong, though: I love Blondie's voice and I love her persona. And her mouth, when she sings, fascinates me because of how she often moves it so little and maintains a natural sort of pouting expression.

I just prefer her earlier songs that seem to have more of a kinky edge to them. My favorite Blondie song is her first hit single, "In the Flesh." I've always thought the song is really sweet:

Blondie - "In the Flesh"
(Video provides good example of Blondie Pout)

i found their filler to be rather interesting, actually

their weakest album has to be The Hunter, though, what a total pile of crap
