Bangles, walk like an egyptian.

[racaulk]

1. They were hot, and they ARE hot!

I've always loved the Bangles!!! :)

[Symarip]

2. Musically, I'm not much of a fan

But Ms. Hoffs is definitely a future ex wife.

I do love the fact that Steve Bartek is the reason the band broke up.

[Pierre.Suave]

3. Oh hell yeah

she is, in my opinion, the hottest.

[Capn Sunshine]

14. I have never heard this?

What did Steveo have to do with the Bangles?

[Symarip]

17. He didn't do anything

For some soundtrack, the girls recorded Hazy Shade of Winter... But the guitar player couldn't really handle the lead so behind her back, they hired Steve to come in and do it (If you listen to the song it's completely obvious that's Bartek). And forgot to tell her, of course.

Well... When she found out, it was the beginning of the end.

[Capn Sunshine]

18. That's a very decent version of that tune.

played in bands and orchestras with Bartek and several other pop stars in high school.

4. Thats one of my all time favorite songs

I'm not so much a Bangles fan as I am a fan of "Walk like an Egyptian" but I've give this thread a rec anyway...

[Pierre.Suave]

5. Woot!

I am a fan of 4 hot women rocking out and having a good time like they are in that video.

[LanternWaste]

6. I'm a big fan of "Glitter Years"

I've got it bad for Vicki Peterson...



(Well, that and I'm a big fan of "Glitter Years" and "Going Down to Liverpool")

7. And this is why Grunge music appeared in the 90's.

:P

Seriously - I liked this stuff when I was a kid. But now it seems so vacuous. FUN but vacuous. There's all kinds of things I could do like an Egyptian... not just walking.

[Pierre.Suave]

9. hmmmm

Now I am curious...

[mvd]

16. Look beyond that fun song

Not vacuous at all in my opinion.. not that just fun is bad, though. I'm more of a fan now than I was in the 80s. I was a kid then.

[SoxFan]

22. That song is very atypical

Most of their stuff is smart jangle-pop, with just a hint of psychedellia thrown in. Remember, they came out of the same scene as the Three O'Clock and the Dream Syndicate.

[LostinVA]

8. Yum -- and, I liked their music, too

[kwassa]

10. My favorite Bangles song is "Hero Takes A Fall"

here is a live version on the Letterman show in 1984.

11. K&R.

They still are. I saw a TV retrospective on them a few years ago, and they still look incredible. Michael Steele, especially. She was my crush, not Susannah Hoffs, as might have been expected. As for vacuous music, listen to "Following" and their cover of "Hazy Shade Of Winter". That'll cure you of accusations of vacuity. They rocked.

[HamdenRice]

12. They were hot but not as hot as Sarah Palin

I hate her politics and her personality, but my god, Sarah was hot during her 15 minutes!!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. The drummer and the redhead were

BTW — the dude with the boom box near the end of the vid? Could be me. :)

[mvd]

15. Hot and a great group IMO!

They had deep songs, fun songs, anything I would want! And Susanna is also one of my favorite singers. :hi:

[RoyGBiv]

19. Dallas ...

I think it was '88. Coulda been '89.

Bangles concert, Jeff Healey was the opening act. He was awesome.

Susanna Hoffs wore really tight dresses. She danced around a lot really vigorously. In a tight dress.

The strap broke.

:loveya:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

20. Had a friend who went to U.C. Berkeley with Susanna Hoffs...

...according to him, she had the best sense of smell on campus. If anyone fired up a J in their room, she'd poke her head in within minutes and ask "Watcha doin'?"

:rofl:

[Pierre.Suave]

21. LOL
