Blondie

One Way Or Another provided the blueprint that turned Blondie into million-sellers and cemented Debbie Harry’s status as one of rock’s foremost badasses

"I don't think there's a song on the first record without a reference to someone getting shot, stabbed, degraded, or insulted"

With their third album Parallel Lines, Blondie notched up five hit singles and became as famous as Abba or Pink Floyd

Debbie Harry’s distortion of stereotypes, her costumes and her confrontational use of sexuality, defined her as a true artist

Written about "sexual repression causing incredible desire among a school full of boys", Maria was a No.1 across Europe

With their sharp songwriting and lyrical flair, Blondie are the pop-punk disco titans who embraced rap before it went mainstream. These are their best albums

A host of artists have had a crack at a 007 theme only for producers to knock them back.

From U2 in a Batman movie to Korn in Tomb Raider and Slayer in Dracula, these songs have outshone the movies they were first featured in
