Blondie – Autoamerican
Okay, I just listened to this for this project. Somebody owes me. With this 1980 release, the band got experimental, branched out, tried new things. That’s fine, and I strongly encourage it. But that...

Blondie – Eat To The Beat
I guess I’ve always thought of this as a seriously lesser Blondie album. Released in October 1979, its first single was “Dreaming,” one of the absolute best Blondie songs and one of my favorite...
