Susanna Hoffs has THE sexiest voice in modern music. They could release a recording of her reading from a diesel rig repair manual, and I would sit there sighing like a love-struck schoolboy. And on top of that, this is one of the most beautiful ballads released at the time, and the video is gorgeous. The campfire lighting on their faces is just stunning.

And she wasn't the only singer in the group. Debi Peterson and Michael Steele were better than most other bands' lead singers. They traded lead vocals on their early material. The record label pushed Susanna to the forefront because she had the looks, but the whole band had unbelievable talent. They were the total package.

The Beatles would not have come close to passing the audition phase of The Voice, whereas the Bangles would have dominated. Paul is not going to have sex with you, so just retreat to your basement and fantasise elsewhere. Yes, the Bangles' harmonies are three flames wondrous, but the Beatles were not ever close vocally. Not that the Beatles were not wonderful innovators, in their field, AT THE TIME, but they were light years surpassed in execution by four innovative hot babe musicians who took Beatles music and made it SO much better. I say that to be nice but I really do not see much similarity between the Beatles and the Bangles.The Bangles are better, even if the ladies do not agree.

Sweet. Amber, regarding when you were talking about how the second time she went up to that high note and she treated it differently ... This song is in the key of G and the high note is D, but regardless, the first time she goes up there she stays in her chest voice which has more power. But the second time, with that climactic sense, you expect her to do that again but instead she goes up there and switches to her head voice, which is more airy and light (the equivalent of a guy moving up into falsetto). And then right before it totally fades out, she does it a third time, and this time she goes up there with her chest voice again. Wonderful. And I totally agree with the other recommendations to check out their Hazy Shade of Winter. You are guaranteed to love it.

I love all of them and they all are really talented, and bring something vital to the band, but yeah, I always thought Michael was the best songwriter, singer, and musician. The most interesting songs on Different Light, Everything, and Doll Revolution were mostly Michael's in my opinion. She played a lot of guitar on their records, too. I really like "Complicated Girl" and "Glitter Years" off Everything, and "Between the Two," "Song for a Good Son," and "Nickel Romeo" off Doll Revolution.

Eternal Flame is a really good song, but putting it into historical perspective, it also caused a bit of drama in the band. It's here where the other members of the band started to feel like The Bangles had become Susanna Hoffs and The Bangles, they felt she was getting lead status in the group, which started some jealousy and communication started to break down. They broke up after this album, which is a shame, because the last thing they recorded was "Hazy Shade of Winter" for the Less Than Zero soundtrack, and the session had gone so well, it seemed like they were all on the same page, finally. Then Susanna Hoffs, with too many people in her ear telling lies about the band, pretty much left the band for a solo career that went nowhere. After 10 years they did reform, realizing that the whole drama was really other people pitting them against each other.

@boguebanks1 2 жыл бұрын
@@Wungolioth I agree. I think it was less that it was an all-female band and so their egos clashed than that their record label was playing them against each other. They put Susanna out front and told her they'd make her a solo star. They also told Michael the same thing, that she was the most talented one in the band and they'd make HER a solo star. Then the band broke up and they never offered Michael a record deal and she basically quit the music biz for 20 years because of how they treated her. I wouldn't be surprised if similar shenanigans had been going on with Vicki and Debbi. I think if their record label hadn't gotten greedy and decided they could get at least two solo stars in place of one band, and played them against each other to try to make that happen, the Bangles would have stayed together at least a bit longer. And then Susanna's solo career wasn't nearly as big as anything she did with the Bangles, Michael basically disappeared after the way the record company treated her, and Vicki and Debbi went off to do side projects that never had any significant commercial success.

@@Wungolioth How about Steve Perry and Gregg Rollie? How about Michael McDonald and Tom Johnston? How about Rodger Waters and David Gilmour? How about the boys in Oasis? How about Mick Jones and Joe Strummer? Lots of male examples of egos busting up bands.

Oh myyy ... another romantic song. Really like this one, for reasons. Some may always keep a flame ... At any rate, yes, "In Your Room" is another really good one from The Bangles. Happy listening!

When I was younger I always thought oh, that's a nice song. Now that I am older I realize that this song is full of hope, fear, and the joy of being with that one you cannot be without. Truly amazing on all levels.

Good choice. Love the Bangles. Another all girl group is Exposé. They had a couple of great albums. Seasons Change , What You Don’t Know Won’t Hurt You, Point of No Return and others.

Expose is so underrated! No one talks about them when they mention "girl groups'!

The end is kind-of reminiscent of "Hey Jude". Once while they were performing "Hero Takes A Fall", Prince stole the stage to do a solo at the end. ;)

Massive hit in Brazil in 89 when it was included in a soap opera’s soundtrack, but it didn’t need a lot of promotion as the song itself is so beautiful. An 80’s classic for sure.

OH THE MEMORIES!! Till this day when I hear this I get goose bumps. Her voice is so beautiful and this song is precious.

Susanna’s solo song “My side of the bed” is awesome. She looks gorgeous as usual in it.

I think your kids playing "walk like an Egyptian" as much as kids are prone to do has had you forget the other Bangles reactions you have done? (3 songs a day, no way anyone could remember everything.) You were just as shocked by how hard rocking "Hazy Shade of Winter" was when you reacted to it. You, also really loved Debbi Peterson's drumming -with cowbell! From pop to ballads to hard hitting rock, they are pretty diverse. :-) I would suggest "Hero takes a fall" from their debut album for your next bangles reaction.

"Be With You" is still my favorite Bangles song. I think it has a faster tempo than "Walk Like an Egyptian" while having deeper vocal track.

This song always makes me want to listen to "The Flame" by Cheap Trick, another slow song by a group that was known for rocking that was released less than 1 year earlier and was also on the radio at the same time. The late 80s was rife with fire metaphors.
