Cheap Trick really have become one of my favorite classic rock bands in the last few months. Just pure fun and energy.

I think in contrast to Parallel Lines, Blondie is far better served listening to all at once as opposed to taking any of the tracks out of context.
I love me some Blondie, and would rather listen to them over 99% of the punk bands that came after them, and possibly 100% of them.
