Y'know The Bangles hits (other that crap pap of the Dianne Warren-penned "Eternal Flame") lit up the radio in a pretty dark era and besides writing strong originals, they also showed pretty discerning taste in covers - Kimberly Rew, Prince, Alex Chilton and Paul Simon.

The Bangles stuff I *really liked* the most was the stuff written by the band -- especially everything on "Different Light" that wasn't provided by an outside song writer.
ReplyDeleteIn a different world, "The Real World", "Hero Takes A Fall", "In A Different Light" and "Let It Go" would have been the monster hits and not "Walk Like An Egyptian" and "Manic Monday".
I love the Bangles! All Over The Place is a classic.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Bangles when they were a surf band. The first album began to take them away from that but it wasn't bad. Unfortunately their handlers turned them into soulless pin-ups.
ReplyDeleteLove The Bangles. The first two albums are deathless. After that, more of a mixed bag. That said, Susannah Hoffs could sing her shopping list and I would listen transfixed. My seven-year old daughter loves them, and her other fave is Nick Lowe (the early stuff), so you know she's got good taste...

ReplyDeleteI loved their originals too but they did some stellar covers as well.

That little girl of yours has rockin' tastes (I'm listening to a Rockpile bootleg right now!)
Sue Bangle still gives me a hard-on to this day!

ReplyDeleteHa!
I just discovered them you could say & am kind of infatuated. I remember having a crush on Su when I was like 11 yrs old but then I forgot! whenever I hear their popular songs I just pictured somebody else & didn't even think Bangles! whenever I hear of the Bangles I just think "oh yeah there was a girl band called Bangles" don't even know what they did. recently I saw a picture of them & my heart did a double-take, WHO IS THAT !! now I am appreciating their music & story. sad what the business can do to a band.
