Donna Summer had music videos? What is a valkyrie? "Take Me Home"?

VinnyM27 said:

That'd be the one

RipHer2Shreds said:

She made a video for everyon song off that album? Explain, Anxiety? I've never heard about this or "On the Radio"?

VinnyM27 said:

In the '70s, Cher did a TV special for the "take me home" album where she's walking through an old house and in every room she walks into, it turns into a video for each song on the album. I remember very clearly watching this when i was a kid. Donna Summer did the same thing when she put out "On the Radio" - I totally remember the video for "Sunset People", because she played a bag lady in it. And Olivia did it with the "Physical" album - I remember begging my mom to let me stay up late to watch it.

I dunno if these little gems ever made it to home video, but I'm sure that somewhere in their fan communities you'd be able to find a copy that someone taped that's in circulation. I'd love to see those shows again.

And Alice Cooper did it before all these in 1975 with the release of Welcome to My Nightmare. Again, it wasn't released commercially like some of these others, but it's hardly an original idea.

eurythmics released their video album for "savage" in i think 1988. and grace jones' "one man show" video in the early '80s was basically a video LP of her "island life" best-of album.

U kidding? Debbie only does that one bum note. She sounds like a zombie.

You're a total moron. Listen to Union City Blue, Dreaming or anything off Parallel Lines.

I heard enough. I dont mind her pop, but girl has a thin voice with no emotion. Which is fine for the kinda music she does. Madonna is the better singer.

thesexofit said:

I doubt you've ever actually heard any Blondie. Probably French Kissin' In The USA and that's it, knowing you.

And, yeah, I'd LOVE to hear Madonna try to sing any Blondie song ca. 1976-1981.

You're a hoot, sexofit. "The kind of music she does"? Blondie was a ROCK group. You can't have a thin, girlish voice for that shit. Debbie had real power. Madonna is not a rock vocalist.

MsLegs, I think it's time you crack out your and teach this boy a lesson.

VoicesCarry said:

That aint rock. Well not the hits I've heard? I thought it was called new wave? Whatever it was called, girl may have a unique voice and u all may love her delivery, but she is weak.

People cant stand dylans voice (i can though), but there u go.

GangstaFam said:

I used to think that would be the song I would be listening to when I met my boyfriend. Didn't work out that way, but I love that song to pieces.

thesexofit said:

Clearly you've never heard Blondie. Please head down to your local wrecka stow and LEARN something. Thanks in advance.

VoicesCarry said:

The "dancing" in the video for "Atomic" completely cracks me up.

RipHer2Shreds said:

I hope I'm listening to Picture This.

Pick up "The Platinum Collection". It has most of their important songs and is the perfect place to start.

If you don't like at least half of it, there's probably something wrong with you.

VoicesCarry said:

The line about watching her man shower is one of the sexiest/sweetest lyrics ever.

GangstaFam said:

It's out of print, sadly

I would recommend buying Parallel Lines, Eat To The Beat, and Greatest Hits (2003 compilation).

VoicesCarry said:

Hell yeah I've heard her. That ain't rock. Maybe the early shit was or the album cuts or something, but its new wave man. A few like "call me" and a couple of others maybe rock but?

Anyway, they were a hybrid of mayn things. Lke alot of shit is.

VoicesCarry said:

I bet if he looked in the used bins at a few decent record stores, he'd come across it.

I've been really feeling "Plastic Letters" over the last few years. "...Presence Dear" and "Denis" are just perfect. And the b-side(?) "Poet's Problem" I really love too.

We should just start sending people good music. Like take up donations or something.

thesexofit said:

New wave is a form of rock.

thesexofit said:

Picture This
Dreaming
One Way Or Another
Hanging On The Telephone
Sunday Girl

and so many more.....

Blondie was a rock band who dabbled in many different styles, including girl-group, new wave, disco, etc.

GangstaFam said:

Plastic Letters is great. There are some really quirky songs on there. Their material got less quirky as they went along, but I've always had a special affection for that record.

VoicesCarry said:

Should I start a musical charity thread? Org Aid 2005?

GangstaFam said:

Yes! That's a great idea, actually.

Of course thesexofit will be the major beneficiary.
