This morning I realized it was Tuesday, which meant it was time to put together yet another Three Tune Tuesday. The only problem being, I really hadn't put any thought into what I might want to assemble. Most of the time I can say there is a semblance of a plan in the back of my mind, but not this morning. I was up before six AM and headed into the backyard to enjoy some coffee. Then for some reason, out of the blue, a song by the band Blondie popped into my head, and an idea was born!
Today, I decided to go back in time to the late 70's and early 80's to share some songs from female fronted bands. Narrowing down the options after Blondie wasn't easy, and I had a hard time leaving out Pat Benatar. But I'll get her back for another post in the next few weeks! I decided to add in some early music from the band Berlin and some Joan Jett. It should be a lot of fun!
But first off I want to say thank you to 
Here we go!
Blondie
This punk rock/ new wave band formed in New York City back in 1974 and are fronted by the talented Debbie Harry. In 1978 they released Parallel Lines which scored them multiple hits including the number 1 "Heart of Glass" and the hit "One Way Or Another". The continued their streak of hit albums through 1982 before parting ways. Although they reformed in 1997, their best days had past them by, but they produced some amazing music in the late 70's and early 80's. This is "One Way Or Another":
Berlin
Long before "Take My Breath Away", Berlin began as a European style synth band that first gained them notoriety. One of their best albums, in my opinion, was called Pleasure Victim, released in late 1982 scoring a few big hits including "Sex (I'm A)" and "The Metro". I thought about featuring the former, however, I figured regional blocking because of the song's title might be problematic in some countries. I chose to go with the latter "The Metro" for today, it's a darker side of the band with a very catchy tune. Of course they are fronted by the beautiful Teri Nunn!
Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
I've always been a big Joan Jett fan, she has such raw energy on stage and always a lot of fun to hear. After the breakup of the band The Runaways she embarked on her successful solo career with The Blackhearts in 1979. In 1981 she released her huge breakout album I Love Rock 'n Roll which shot her into superstardom. She's had a long and successful career even being inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame back in 2015. But here's the first song from the debut album that set it all in motion, "I Love Rock 'n Roll":
That will wrap up this Three Tune Tuesday, and I hope you enjoyed it! These are always a lot of fun to put together! Please feel free to leave any comments or questions below and thank you for all of your support. It's greatly appreciated. Have a great day everyone!
