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
