Musically, while most people will say that "Heart of Glass" was their best song, it wasn't the song that attracted me to them in that way. That honour belongs to another single from the album, "One Way or Another." For me, that song proved to me that Blondie could rock. Furthermore, there are song other cool rock type songs like "11:59" and "Will Anything Happen." The rest of the album contains some good to passable rock tunes which makes this it all around, a pretty good album.

I admit, it was the fabulous look of Deborah Harry which first got me into Blondie and I know I wasn't the only teenage boy guilty of this. But beyond the sex, there is some really good music from "Parallel Lines" and it is easy to see why it went so high in the album charts and why it's considered Blondie's most popular album. So, here's a photo of Deborah Harry so those who aren't old enough to remember her in her prime can see what the fuss was all about.
