Love this album, some great tracks it on it. Surprised Picture This & Sunday Girl not listed as track picks, but the ones that are listed are pretty decent, just goes to show the quality of the album.

"I've always respected Blondie as a singles band and pick any one of the plethora of Blondie Best Of's out there and you've got yourself a slam dunk winner

Having said that 'Parallel Lines' is a great album as an album and is easily their best

'Parallel Lines' is some thing of a strange beast that some how works brilliantly with not 1 but 2 obscure Nerves covers in opener "Hanging on the Telephone" and side 2 opener "Will Anything Happen?" , plus a 3rd cover version this time Buddy Holly's "I'm Gonna Love You Too". The album also includes IMHO 2 perfect 100/100 tracks in "Picture This" and the legendary "Heart of Glass"

This album gets me every time

75/100"
