Blondie - One Way Or Another (1978) • TopPop

Blondie is an American rock band co-founded by singer Debbie Harry, and guitarist Chris Stein.
The band were pioneers in the American punk and then the new wave scene of the mid-1970s in New York. Its first two albums contained strong elements of these genres, and although highly successful in the United Kingdom and Australia, Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the United States until the release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next three years, the band achieved several hit singles including "Heart of Glass", "Call Me", "Rapture" and "The Tide Is High". The band became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of disco, pop, reggae, and early rap music.

Debbie would be WAY TOO COOL for modern pop. This Woman was/is AN ABSOLUTE ROCKSTAR! God bless her sexy rocking soul!

[@robincousins1144]

She sold her soul, like Madonna...

[@desertrose1226]

She'd thrash Little Mix into a corner!

[@guyinsf]

@@robincousins1144 You just lost your credibility by comparing her to the no talent Madonna.

[@dkelly531]

i remember my mom would play this driving us kids around in her 73 mustang fast back, it was her favorite song, she passed away in 2016 and when i hear this song it brings me back to the mustang days in the late 70's

Nobody on the radio then sounded like Blondie. Such a cool fucking band and a stunning fucking lead singer.

[@AtropalArbaal-dk8jv]

They were a punk band, that became a radio band.

[@The70sChick]

Anyone else think that Debbie and Co. rock the sh*t out of this song as only they know how?

[@djm4457]

Nobody holds it all together like Clem Burke. He is a beast on the drums. Best of his or any generation IMHO.

[@Ziggy771]

Yes, and I was excited when a documentary only about Clem was released!

[@DustyInTheWind]

The song is a masterpiece without even knowing the backstory. Learning the song was written to self-soothe and overcome the psychological trauma her ex boyfriend turned dangerous stalker brings it to a whole new level. Although it caused her to move from New Jersey to the City, she would not let it hold her down. Instead she used it to create a song that is known and loved worldwide , and perhaps the best part is nobody remembers that jerks name...

[@blondie9422]

Wow!! You learn something new everyday. I love this song but had no idea about the true meaning 😂

[@Johnko512]

Everything a Rock Star should be

[@AxelSituation]

When Andy Warhol painted Debbie for his classic picture "Icon", he knew her look was legendary even back then. He was right.

[@michaelmckenna7109]

Andy said in his book "if he could have any stars face in the world it would be Debbie Harrys". Andy had met all the greatest stars.

[@90sHONEY]

Andy always had a feeling for what would become iconic, that's how he got famous

[@HDB316]

She still has the painting

[@HDB316]

Who has seen his painting called mountains. Naked mem pilled up with butts in to up positions

[@dontae.dovelll]

He was definitely right!

[@alessandraanzalone5142]

Legend. No one cooler than Debbie

[@popularculturetv4687]

Definitely one of her greatest songs. I think Heart Of Glass is her best though. But this song is pretty rocking for a Blondie song, very cool!

[@radboston]

So many awesome songs. Different styles from rock to rap to new wave.

[@sucramocram]

Ever listened to “rip her to shreds”? That’s the real blondie. Live at the whiskey a gogo

[@donpietruk1517]

Detroit 442; Rip Her to Shreds; or pretty much anything off of Plastic Letters.

[@stephenalanmoore7278]

Blondie put out lots of great singles throughout their career. My particular favourite is 'Hanging On The Telephone', but I also love 'Sunday Girl', 'Dreaming', Picture This' and so many others. They came out with one classic hit after another during the late 70s and early 80s. Blondie are definitely up there as one of the very best bands of all time.

[@sendscho2260]

the coolness of her is like mid 80s, The riff is like 90s grunge, the attitude like 2000s. Way ahead of time.

[@RobertoRossi-k3o]

This song is brilliant. The drum beat of the country-western ballads, much like the drums of Dire Straits' Walk of Life, blended with the punk sound of the guitar. And then Debbie Harry with that slightly "arrogant", scratchy voice like a bad girl. Iconic.

[@lolalinastar3768]

Spectacularly beautiful

[@bradencarrigan27]

Debbie is definitely one of the most coolest women in the world!

[@Steaks652]
