Blondie turned to British pop producer  for their third album, on which they abandoned any pretensions to new wave legitimacy (just in time, given the decline of the new wave) and emerged as a pure pop band. But it wasn't just  that made Parallel Lines Blondie's best album; it was the band's own songwriting, including , , and 's "Picture This," and  and 's "Heart of Glass," and  and new bass player 's "One Way or Another," plus two contributions from nonbandmember , "Will Anything Happen?" and "Hanging on the Telephone." That was enough to give Blondie a number one on both sides of the Atlantic with "Heart of Glass" and three more U.K. hits, but what impresses is the album's depth and consistency -- album tracks like "Fade Away and Radiate" and "Just Go Away" are as impressive as the songs pulled for singles. The result is state-of-the-art pop/rock circa 1978, with 's tough-girl glamour setting the pattern that would be exploited over the next decade by a host of successors led by .
