Amazon.com: Until 1978, Blondie was perceived mostly as a '60s-referencing, British-Invasion-meets-girl-groups band. With veteran producer Mike Chapman at the helm for their third album, though, everything changed for this group bred from the New York punk scene. Honing in on Blondie's strongest points--Deborah Harry's come-hither vocals and Clem Burke's powerhouse drumming--Chapman helped recast the band to the power pop side of new wave, and with impressive results. Driven by the punk-meets-disco chart-topping hit, "Heart of Glass," and the herky-jerky "One Way or Another," as well as a muscular cover of the Nerves' "Hanging on the Telephone," Parallel Lines established Blondie as major stars. --Billy Altman

The greatest new wave album not by the talking heads, surely one of the greatest albums of all time. The band never was this strong or consistent again.

..after seeing those lines and hearing that music.
Anyone who has ever heard Parallel Lines from start to finish should be affected by it as well. Opening with telephone buzz and breaking into the punky new wave "Hanging On The Telephone" through 12 songs of neon nuances, organ bounces, sultry cooing and downright new wave genius this is arguably one of the best albums released ever, and that comes from other real critics and not just my blonde head.
When I first saw Debbie Harry on TV singing; I was transfixed. I had to know who she was, what she was, where she was. Once again my Aunt Sarah stepped in by having the Parallel Lines album since they had done a cheerleading routine to "Heart Of Glass", I stole that record ... Read More:

If you follow my reviews, you know that King Diamond is one of my all time favorites. I also really like EXODUS and Bon Jovi. I have respect for Britney Spears. I am not the biggest Blondie fan, but I don't deny that her "Parallel Lines" record is a real masterpiece. (A fine piece of 70s history!) 'Hanging On the Telephone' is a great intro to her record. 'One Way Or Another' is a powerful song with a rocky edge. (For the record, she sang this song when she was the guest star on the "Muppet Show.") 'Picture This' and 'Fade Away' are nice. 'Pretty Baby' is alright. 'I Don't Know' is alright. '11:59' keeps the good tone of the record and maintains its edge. 'Will Anything Happen?' also keeps the energy levels of the record up. 'Sunday Girl' has a nice ... Read More:
