One year for Christmas when I was a kid I was given a copy of a Blondie album and Ted Nugent's Double Live Gonzo. I was excited about getting Gonzo. I had been wanting it ever since I heard it over a neighbors house. Insane Gonzo rock. I wasn't all that familiar with Blondie. Some time later my parents confronted me and said that they had heard that the album my aunt had given me was full of cussing and said they wanted me to give it to them. Grudgingly I went and grabbed the offending album and handed it to them. Goodbye Blondie! Ted Nugent rules!

If you want Blondie albums behind the greatest hits album, the self titled album. 'Plastic Letters' and 'Parallel Lines' which are all great albums, and Deborah Harry does not look that bad, the woman is after all 64!

Debbie Harry was sooooooooo frickin hot back in the day.
She grew up in Hawthorne, NJ. I lived there for a couple of years during the mid/late 90s and I always harbored a secret hope that maybe she'd come back to town to visit family and I'd bump into her at a store or something but no such luck.
My fave Blondie song:

Absolutely one of rock's hottest women ever. Unfortunately Freddy your video didn't work, but your fave. Blondie song is also my fave Blondie song, so here it is again.

I absolutely love Blondie. I didn't get into them until I was a sophomore in high school, though. A friend of mine came with my family on a trip, and he brought a cassette walkman (remember those!), with only one tape: Blondie's Greatest Hits. Oddly enough, I did not get sick of it. I immediately went out and bought it. I have since replaced it, of course, with a CD version that is in my regular playlist. I also own all the individual albums too, even the two they released not long ago.

'The Curse of Blondie' CD was a hit and miss affair and really did not stand up to their past material. It was not horrid but far from their best work. The prior reunion album ' No Exit' is alot better and features that vintage Blondie sound, there are a couple of bum tracks on the album, but overall a very good album IMO.

i dont really know how I feel about Blondie. I grew up hearing their songs onthe radio and I admit I like a couple of them but it seems to me they are still played to death whenever I'm within earshot of muzak. I suppose if I saw a greatest hits at a pawn shop and it was fairly recent and remastered and if it was like $1 I might get it.

I agree with Manny. "The Curse of Blondie" was not as good, but still somewhat listenable. "No Exit", the previous album, was much better, and it had the killer single, "Maria". I would actually place that song among the best material of their career. It is the only one that really stands up to their heyday.

I'd like to add also if the current Debbie Harry got in a time machine and went back to 1982, brought back her '82 self, then that Debbie Harry personally delivered the re-mastered greatest hits album to my house in a silver briefcase along with $50,000 cash and then immediately began to service me, then maybe, maybe I'd listen to it. But I'd have to have a few stiff drinks in me as well.

Well I suppose it was bound to happen. MG even outdid himself with this one!
Bravo, young man. Bravo.
