Do Rush Fans Like BLONDIE?

[RUSHHEAD666]

Any Blondie fans on here?

When I was a kid not only did I have a crush on her I totally dug her music and her voice of an angel.

The band kicks ass too.

 

Did she start the new wave punk movement?

Also was "Rapture" the first song to ever crossover rap with rock?

 

Sincerely,

 

"Walk This Way" with Aerosmith and RUN DMC

[Ya_Big_Tree]

I LOVE Blondie!!!!!

 

Deborah Harry = AWESOME!!!

 

ONE WAY OR ANOTHER is my fave Blondie tune!

 

[librarian]

I have "Parallel Lines" and "Autoamerican" in vinyl somewhere in the house - it seems a box of MY records has gone MIA...

 

my husband claims he's innocent.

 

I liked Picture This, 11:59, Fade Away.

 

I also liked Lene Lovich's "Flex" album, but I'm probably the only person on the Fourm who has it...

Right on!

 

Another great record is her first solo album with the H.R. Giger artwork called "KOO KOO."

 

I love that tune called "Backfired."

BLONDIE is great!!

Horrible. Melt Banana?

 

[circumstantial tree]

Blondie started out punk but they were the kind of band they approached various genres. "Heart of Glass" is definitely a disco song.

 

The B-52's were also a punk/new wave act in the beginning. I'd say 1978 or 1979 was the birth of new wave.

Yep, I can still get down to some Blondie when in that punk/new wave mood. Along with the Talking Heads and The Ramones, my fave three from the CBGBs era

[Xanadude69]

funny, I just listened to 'heart of glass'. I love that song but I must admit that I have only heard about 2 songs from Blondie.

[Rush Cocky]

I really liked Blondie back in the day.

 

I had a crush on Debbie Harry for a short time when I was 13, I think.

 

Their music is very good though, seriously.

[ReRushed]

Parallel Lines is a flat out masterpiece.

[ozzy85]

Oh, Rapture!

 

In general, New Wave and skinny tie music, NO. It was part of the ugliness of the '80's.

 

However, Blondie (and Debbie Harry... ), yes. They're Atomic.

Lene Lovich! Now there's a name I hadn't heard in a while. "Mein Schmerz" was a damn good song - she had a great voice.

 

Blondie - yeah, I still can rock out to "Heart Of Glass" when I hear it.

[lerxt1990]

All the boys had a crush on DH. They were a good little band. Rapture was the first 'rap' I ever heard...

Wasn't it one of the first mainstream "rap" songs that was popular?

Wasn't it one of the first mainstream "rap" songs that was popular? That is correct my young padawan.   I used to LOVE listening to that one on the radio. They played it often.   We only had the AM station though, so that part sucked.

OOh YAA ... that ... and Pat Benatar and Donna Summer ... good times back in the day!

[GotRush]

I've seen Pat Benatar 7 times, last 2 times with my girl, Jeri, in

Las Vegas in `06 & `07 @ Mandalay Bay. Excellent shows.

 

Next month we have 5th row center seats for

 

Pat Benatar w/special guest

 

Blondie &

 

The Donna's are the first act

 

I know Pat looks great & sings even better still, but unsure what to expect from Deborah. We are very very close, by choice to see Pat. Heart of Glass was an AM hit back when I first started having relations inside of cars, most had AM radios....Never owned a Blondie album, but a couple compulations discs I have, have a couple Blondie songs. Never cared much for Rapture.

Well I thought I liked you, but then you had to list that you saw ACCEPT.

I am sooooooooooooo jealous.

Hell I just wrote a TOP TEN LIVE ALBUM THREAD and included Accpet's "Staying A Life" double cd. Only Japan and the UK did the double cd. Not the lame USA.

Anyway that is awesome.

I know this is totally off topic but what year did you see ACCEPT???

 

Come on and "HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT!"

I can take it!

 

Benatar is great!

 

No matter if you are a man or a woman, one thing stands true.

Accept opened for Aerosmith & Scorpions, Big outdoor show in Phoenix in the Heat ! Me & my brother went together & had a blast We brought an icechest in ( they were alowed then ) we had Jack Daniels duct taped to the bottom of the cooler   The bonus was Accept, figured I would see them again, but never have.

For those who have an interest in the techie recording methods of a classic album, check out the following in regards to the track "Hanging On The Telephone" from Parallel Lines.

They were good. Clem Burke was a serious punk rock drummer. Kind of reminded me of Keith Moon, but much more restrained.

You could see he was a big Keith fan, appearance as well as style. Serious indeed.
