1 out of 5 stars 1 star for the fact that it's Blondie related.......2007-03-17

Don't be fooled! This Album SUCKS!
It was given one star for the fact that it's blondie related and it's neat to hear most of the more rare Blondie songs done in a "new" manner.

It says Blondie Tribute and is called: How Many Bands Does It Take to Screw up a Blondie Tribute?

Answer: ONE There is only one woman singing all 22 tracks under the disguise as 22 bands. It is apparent in the names that were chosen for the bands that they just pulled it out of a hat.
Chris Stein nor any other band member has given any sort of review on this. This was made purely for the fact that at it's time of release Tribute CD's were all the rage for Big artists.

IF YOU WANT A REAL BLONDIE TRIBUTE ALBUM check out "Platinum Girl". at least they actually have real artists and bands covering blondie.

2 out of 5 stars No more Blondie Tribute albums ever.... PLEASE!!!!.......2006-02-20

First of all I am a huge Blondie FANATIC--I have almost everything EVER recorded on CD/LP/CS/DVD/VID/VCD etc. I have this an some other tribute albums and all I have to say is LISTEN to the sound clips EVERYONE--I did not have that option when I purchased this CD. I don't know why I bought it, maybe a weak moment (cuz I have to have everything even remotely related to Blondie), but TRUST ME this CD sucks. There are a couple of bright spots, original even, but overall it leaves one with the impression of "Why did they bother?". Stick to the original, you won't regret it.

5 out of 5 stars Surprisingly great.......2005-10-11

I grew up breathing Blondie. There's no band whose music I know any better, and I consider this to be the best, most fun tribute album I know. I absolutely can't stand almost any other I've ever heard, but I've been listening to this one a lot.

Of course, none of them bests Blondie, but The Short Fuses' "Maria" comes close. Tuuli's "Accidents Never Happen" is crunchily bratty, and High School Sweethearts' "Living in the Real World" is its equal...but Debbie tore both those vocals up more herself.

I love it. And I can't believe I'm saying that about a cash-in tribute record.

5 out of 5 stars ROCKIN', Stripped down and FUN.......2003-03-29

This is NOT a Blondie Album, but a Blondie TRIBUTE album. Most of them are indie rock bands just slamming 'em out in 4/4 style. More like the punk rock from Blondie's roots. Standouts are Squatweiller and The Kowalskis with more RIPPING versions than the original. Raw, as sometimes Blondie's power got killed by overproduction. BUY THIS if you love rock and roll and not the MUZAK versions of Blondie songs.

5 out of 5 stars Different people will have different opinions..........2002-09-20

Honestly, I loved this tribute album from the minute I heard it. I love Blondie, and when I found the album, I was thrilled that some bands that I love were on it (Buck, the Beards, the Chubbies, etc...). I guess it really comes down to who is listening to it.I love almost anything put out by Sympathy For the Record Industry, and this is no exception.Even 2 of the members of Blondie approved it. I love the harder edge that songs are given, and the vocalists, while some do their best Deborah Harry impressions, mostly use their own voices...maybe some people would have prefered a tribute album with superstar bands, but as for me...this one was perfect.
