Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room What Music Are You Listening To ?

So, out of all the Blondie records of that period, which one, in your opinion, is their best?
I ask because I seem to go back and forth with Blondie.

Heh! Me neither! But it's not stopped me yet!

I know its not my opinion you asked for, but for what its worth I personally feel that Blondie's first three albums (Blondie, Plastic Letter and Parallel Lines) are the only ones they did of much value.
Of these, the first one is probably the best, but there's not much to choose between them

The debut - it's just class. Just wish I had the initial poster edition! *sigh*

Following on from the Pleasures of Electricity , I've now loaded Shifting City on my MP3 player.

We'll see how that goes..

Yes that does pretty much answer it, the first three are the best. 'ETTB' was a prelude to 'Autoamerican'. Of the first three i would pick 'Parallel Lines' as their most complete.

Ive been looking around for other Blondie ones and found too many for my wallet. Theres offical bootleg and live albums now, and some demos all commercially avalible.

Thanks Martin, Garry and Ken.

I asked for 2 reasons really. One is that I have not listened to Blondie since 'back in the day' and two, there are alot of the early ones in the bargain bin (remastered and with bonus tracks)at my record shop so I was wondering whether to take the plunge.

I seem to only recall Parallel Lines (which I have on vinyl) and played quite alot at the time.

I've been following this guy (from a respectable distance ) since I first heard his remix of Dislocated.

Sadly his website now seems pretty useless, but there is some good innovative techno-electronic wizardry at his myspace site:-
