The greatest pop achievement to ever crawl out of NYC's underground.

However cheesy you might think some of the songs are (and some very well might be), frankly, this record is irresistible.

Parallel Lines is Blondie at their best.

Born out of the New York punk rock scene of the mid-1970s, Blondie made a astonishing shift toward pop-oriented material releasing "Parallel Lines" in the fall of 1978. There were nods to Buddy Holly , the girl groups of the 60's, as well as touches of reggae and disco. It was an album of Rock 'n' Roll which balanced everything from surf to edgy punk to sixties pop brilliance and rolled up in downtown New York chic. A well written, well played, well produced pop rock gem.

Wasn't expecting to enjoy this album so much! It blew me away. Also can't believe it's a 70s album.

This is a monument to well crafted, catchy pop-rock. A greatest hits package on one album. Debbie Harry taught the other girls how to sweet, sexy and tough at the same time. Wonderful stuff.
