The Pioneers of Punk Rock "BLONDIE"

Blondie pop,punk,new wave,ska hmmmm though this band defined new meaning to punk music.Blondie was formed in August 1974 by Guitarist Chris Stein and girfriend Deborah Harry(Debbie) who were in the band The Wind In The Willows.They roped in drummer Clem Burke Keys player Jimmi Destri and Bassist Gary Valentine.The name of the band was initially Angel and The Snakes but changed it to Blondie later when they got really famous all bcoz of Debbie Harry who as a child was nicknamed Blondie.Debbie harry is one of the top 20 most beautiful women in Rock N Roll.Blondie's music has a lotta pop,disco n rock touch to it and not to forget the seductive vocals of Debbie Harry.

My personals Favs would be I Touch Myself,Heart of Glass,Call me,Atomic and MARIA that came out in 1999 of their latest album No Exit.After almost 17 yrs back with the new album Though Debbie looks and sounds gr8 as ever, and the music sounds same as usual.Not lotta bands can do this lotta them tend to try to make the stuff similar to the one being made at that time,but coming back and cutting an album sticking to almost the same kinda music you were playing is tough.The album consists of the trademark elements which Blondie had over the years which were atmospheric Keys,brilliantly articulated Guitarin and great drumming by Clem Burke

The main reason for the bands breakup was that Chris Stein had a rare and usual fatal genetic disease called Pemphigus in 82'.Though Debbie wasnt demotivated at all, she went solo in 1983 and has appeared in a lot of movies too.Though she came back in 1985 to nurse Stien.Drummer Clem Burke continued playing with lotta bands like The Who,Eurythmics he also replaced Richie Ramone of The Ramones for 2 gigs

2003 they came out with another album called The Curse of Blondie,stand out cuts including Good Boys,The Tingler and many more

WhereYou Going Now

Hey guys, Welcome to my blog(ITS MY FIRST TIME).First of all i would like to ask one and all what do u think does music mean.The metalheads will say heavyriffs to get their heads coming off their necks,fast solos and how can we forget "THROATING",I guess almost all off you will be familiar with this term.
Then we have some people who have just started lisining to music,this person will say dude that song sounds great,but the music that is playing is utter shit,you cant tell what the vocalist is singing,the guitarist has got his distortion on MAX,the bassist isn't audible and the drummer is ripping his double bass pedal off.

Then the second kind are the ones who listen to a song and either like it for the lyrics or the way it has been sung,or the music the way it has been made either being generated by the Guitars/Keys/Bass....... ect.NO matter what the genre is !!!!!!

WHICH KINDA PERSON WOULD YOU RATE YOURSELF AS????

According to the Oxford dictionary "MUSIC" means 'Art of Combining vocal or Instrumental Sounds in a harmonious or Expressive Way'.Hmmmmm!!!.I dont see anything of a such a thing happening today.Right now im Lisining to Babe by Styx,How many of U hav heard of this Band??

Newez moving on Music was creating art.Many of You have heard of The Beatles and must have heard a few songs of theirs,but first thing that comes in your mind when you hear the bands name is hmmm KIDDISh,Am I rite.,but if you listen to them carefully without that notion in your mind you can really see theres a lotta meaning in their lyrics as well as in their music.This applies to lotta good bands too like BLUE OYSTER CULT,CCR,ALAN PARSONS PROJECT,PINKFLOYD,LED ZEPPLIN ect it just goes on.

Let me tell you about an incident that happened to me that shocked me.I had been to a local pub there were a group of middle aged men around 30's sitting next to us the song playing in the background was "Highway Star" by Deep Purple.One of the guys acts as if he recognises the song and starts swaying his head back and forth,after which he takes a sip of his beer and tells his pals "Guys did u hear this song when The Scorpions performed here",then it gets betta the guy next to him says yup i remember they played it gr8 n did rock too".This is what Classic Music is for people.SADLY!!!

Classic Rock/Pop/Disco/Punk....... was not that much complicated music but sounded great.No bands as such can be named there were so many in different genres.Though as they say times change they seemingly are,but there are a lotta new bands n singers coming up which are gud some creating new music and new genres thats really great to see.
