The attribute that fits Blondie or Debbie Harry the most is "cool" I think.
I don't know that much about her music besides her hit singles, but she's experimented with many different musical styles.
What ever she does: Disco ("Call me"), Reggae ("The tide is high"), Hip Hop-influenced songs ("Rapture") she represents every style perfectly and with so much coolness and confidence.
Not only her music but her whole outward appearance and her demeanour through all the years is so cool and self confident you would never question it. I really appreciate that.
She is one of the most nonchalant singers I know. My favourites are "Call Me" and "One way or another".

I agree wholeheartedly... Debbie Harry certainly has a cool and confident demeanor about herself. I find that to be a very appealing part of her overall persona.

Although, I don't consider her to be "technically" an all-time great vocal stylist, I do like her voice quite a bit. Her voice possesses that same coolness and confidence as her personality. Of course Blondie's music rocks. I love their drums progressions and guitar chords... outstanding music.

As for their albums they're all worth purchasing.

My favorite albums are "Blondie" (1976), "Plastic Letters" (1977), "Parallel Lines" (1978) and "Eat To The Beat" (1979). "Eat To The Beat" is my favorite of all their album... with great tracks such as "Union City Blue", "Accidents never Happen", "Shayla", "Dreaming", "Die Young Stay Pretty", "Atomic" and "Slow Motion".
