Okay so today is my first day off from work...and i had a MASSIVE post-Christmas clean out, finding homes for stuff and i decided to put Blondie - Plastic Letters on as i did it...and maaaan talk about 110% Pure gritty NEW WAVE
And i went to discuss it and found there was no Blondie thread...to my knowledge...and sight anyhow.
ANyways i hadnt heard a Blondie album in ages so decided to play it and man it sounds so much better with time
I think i bought their first 5 albums a few years back spirited by an Ab Fab marathon i had
and hadnt listened to them for ages!
From 1976 - 1980 they hit a slick 5 year streak of success and Debbie Harry/Deborah Harry (whatever she wants to be known as) became an Icon, drawn to the attention of the media and Andy Warhol.....from her frequent presence at the Studio 54 in that time period....but after Autoamerican, everything seemed to slide for them all...Harrys solo career bar a few gems seemed to fade into oblivion....and Blondie was to be no more....even No Exit onwards hadnt achieved the same pull factor....but regardless....Debbie is now 68 and playing with her band still
.
Anyways....I personally feel Plastic Letters is my favourite of their albums of that period....all the songs seemlessly flow into each other, there is nothing that sticks out as "filler" like the others i find....while i do very much love Parallel Lines and Eat To The Beat.....Plastic Letters is for me
But man its been epic replaying them 
So...favourite songs/moments/albums...lets discuss
