Blondie is one of my all time favourite bands. Debbie Harry has an amazing voice. Tracks like Shayla, Fade away and radiate, Dreaming & Union city blue, to name but a few, are classic Blondie at their best. It all sort of went wrong after AutoAmerican though.

Blondie are one of the most revolutionary bands of all the time, their music and fashion was miles ahead of it's time. Debbie Harrie is one of the most iconic figures of her time and a fashion revolutionary. Their music continues to live on, remaining timeless.

You're actually saying that Blondie have had more of a lasting impact in popular music than the Beatles, and with a straight face?

hmm, I can't seem to recall saying that at all, funnily enough? I'm saying that while you maybe be in the vast majority who feel the need to hail them as some sort of god's, there are those, like myself, you believe they simply a product of their time and had it not been them, it would have been somebody else.

Everyone has different tastes. I have loads of Blondie stuff but hardly any Beatles. They are not the be all and end all of music. Blondie have been hugely influential in their own right and their music remains timeless.

So again, you're saying that Blondie are better and more important than them?

Beatles having a larger legacy doesn't make them better, just more popular and henceforth more influential. It's all down to taste.

Better or not is a matter of opinion.

I voted Beatles btw

And you basically said it all there in a nutshell. 1 or 2 good albums doesn't make a great band.

no actually I think you'll find I didn't mention Blondie what so ever. I just pointed out that not everyone thinks the Beatles are what music is about hence why those people will obviously vote Blondie. and - shock horror - some people actually prefer Blondie.

Don't get me wrong, Blondie are a good band but they're not in the same league as somebody like the Beatles.

Erm, they had more than 1 or 2 albums before Autoamerican. Which of their albums do you think were the only good ones then?

well then it's not really fair of you to question their presence in this competition, is it? Chances are you know more but not by name. Trying YTing Call Me, Heart Of Glass, Tide Is High, Rip Her To Shreds.
