The Go-Go's: The Whole World Lost it's Head E.P.


"Beyond the Valley of the Go-Go's", the 1994 double Go-Go's anthology was a glorious mess that included, amongst the big hits, the rough early material and the witty liner notes, one of the best songs the band ever wrote, "The Whole World Lost it's Head" This here's the CD single with some otherwise-unreleased live versions of "Our Lips Are Sealed:, "Automatic" and "Lust To Love".

The Go-Go's: Punk Tarts (1979)


While I always wish this early version of The Go-Go's had made it into a proper studio, I'll take the pop albums over the raw stuff (which is not usually where I stake my claim). Nevertheless, this live show from 1979 says a lot about the the band came from.

The Go-Go's: Cherry Hills '81 (Plus this week's TOP TEN!)



For this week's top ten, please come visit
The Big Takeover!


At first blush I did not love The Go-Go's, as I disdained much of pop radio by the early 80's. It to years for me to hone in on the great paisley-power-pop records these women made. Sure they were the "first all-female band that both wrote their own songs and played their own instruments to top the Billboard album charts" but more importantly those songs cooked.
