Blondie - Parallel Lines

Probably the best Pop album of the post punk era, Parallel Lines is bloody ace. Opening with "Hanging On The Telephone" (Which I only recently discovered was a cover. Blondie's version is way better than the original by "The Nerves", so don't worry if you hadn't heard it) immediately followed by the Suzie Quatro sytle glam boogie of "One Way Or Another" before continuing through a multitude of other 3 minute sparkly guitarpop tunes for the next 34 minutes or so. You've got 3 other massive hit singles (including arguably Blondies biggest hit, "Heart Of Glass") plus, pretty much any other song on the album could have been a hit single too.

plus, one of the coolest album covers of all time!

The combination of Clem Burke's frenetic new wave drums, Jimmy Destri's Farfisa organ, Frank Infante and Chris Stein's dueling guitars and Nigel Harris's bass formed a perfect backing for Debbie Harry's vocals. You probably know this album, If you don't then you'll definitely know the singles so here's "Will Anything Happen?"...
