Rock and roll in modern times is more a verb than a noun
More embodying an attitude (which changes) than a style of music

I like Blondie….but putting Debbie Harry in that list is re-duck-u-less
I almost added Ferry to that list
Davies I get…most people don't understand how important the kinks are
But I'd say VM is more popular overall and has more sales than blondie…but I could be wrong

Agreed. My 12 year old wouldn't recognize the names Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry, Van Morrison, Kinks/Ray Davies. She definitely knows Blondie though.
I think influence outweighs popularity in terms of importance
But Blondie and particularly Debbie Harry has had an incredible influence on women (and men) not so much musically but on what a woman could be, do and represent within rock and roll
Roxy Music is always put down in the US but they are after Bowie the most important UK act until the Sex Pistols and the most important influence on the early 80s New Romantic movement (Duran Duran etc)

whoops… put him in the belly up thread.
That sucks but not entirely surprising as he had dropped out of the public eye

Hug the ones you are closest with . . . then hug everyone else. You, just never know, how time runs against your chances to say goodbye.
Love you and will always miss you, my dear friend.
Until, I see you again. :'(
