Parallel Lines (Blondie)

One way or another, "Parallel Lines" from Blondie is gonna get you. This 1978 album is innovative, and a convergence of genres on the rise, from punk rock, to new wave, and everything in between, anchored by Debbie Harry's limitless cool and swagger. Highly influential, this album is a gas that doesn't turn out to be a pain in the ass.

Please listen along with us. Your homework for next time is "Ozzmosis" by Ozzy Osbourne.
