Basement walls...drywall and cinder blocks

I tore off the cheap thin wood paneling in my basement living room. 2 of the walls had drywall underneath. The other 2 walls have 1X2 pine built of cinder blocks. Between the 1X2s was white styrofoam, the wood paneling was then on top of that.

I am deciding between painting the cinder blocks or putting up drywall to match the other 2 walls. What are my options for drywall? Is there a way I can glue it to the cinder blocks?

I realize I should probably keep the 1X2s as framing and screw drywall to it. The problem is that one of the walls is mostly drywall and 2X4s but it also has about 2' of cinder block as well (can't figure out why). If I screwed drywall to the 1X2s it would extend out about 1/2-3/8" farther than the existing drywall.

Any ideas?
