IF you want to know why the 80's sucked, here you go.......2007-05-14

I love the 80's? It's true, the 80's was a great era, but also a ________ era! The fashion, the video games, and theh music! We had awesoem music like Mercyful Fate, Slayer, and Metallica, but we also had horrible hair metal and countless _____ pop. Pop was good and bad, and here's a band that bad. Very _________ bad. Like Bangles bad. Here's the Bangles for you. A _________ group with three untalented _____heads.

The Bangles were some of the worst group of women ever. IF the Pussycat Dolls had an 80's version, it wuold be the Bangles. Well, the Bangles lryics were still tons better than The Pussycat Dolls lyrics, but the Bangles were extremely boring and stupid, not to mention pointless. Then again, a lot of pop music in the 80's was __________ horrible. At least we had METAL!!!!!! Just try to listen to this bland waste for thirty seconds. THe Bangles had one good hit, Walk Like an Egyptian, and they tanked faster than the Lustania (it's a _________ sinking ship!).

If you want a better pop album from the 80's, Hunting High And Low by a-ha Or Welcome To The Pleasuredome by Frankie Goes To Hollywood totally destroy this album anyday of the 80's. Or today. Whatever works.

Here comes the not helpful votes again!

for a while ..........2006-12-12

For a while back in the 1980s, the Bangles - fronted by the inimitable Susanna Hoffs - practically defined the upbeat Girl Band phenomenon. Lightly packaged female angst about men, relationships, and getting to work late again combine with one of the all-time most memorable tunes ('Walk Like an Egyptian') to make DIFFERENT LIGHT an eminently own-able album, one that repays regular listening. The latter song also generated one of the all-time best early music videos.

Influences? One thinks of Heart, especially in the broody voice of Vicki Peterson, who looks seriously offended on the album paperwork. There's an almost Dylan-esque ironic randomnness in the lyrics of 'Egyptian', though the similarities end there.

In sum, a tight sound and a fun band to watch. 'Generative of a question that may await resolution in eternity: 'What ever happened to the Bangles?'

The Bangles Best!.......2006-03-22

I would say get this and don't even bother with the Greatest Hits album. You don't need to have "Eternal Flame" or "Going Down to Liverpool". I remember friends of mine seeing them live and RAVING about them. And these guys were into metal! Susanna Hoffs is ultra hot. Between her looks and that sexy voice she is really special and she still looks amazing. This album has their 2 best songs- "Walking Down Your Street" and "If She Knew What She Wants" and their 2 biggest hits- "Walk Like An Egyptian" and "Manic Monday". Susanna Hoffs is really hot- did I say that yet?

Different Light [1985].......2005-08-12

This is clearly the best Bangles album.Includes "Manic Monday",
"Walk like an egpytian" "Walking Down Your Street" and many others.It also includes lesser known songs like "Standing in the hallway","Not like you",and a cover of Big Star's September Gurls."Manic Monday" went to #2 written by Christoper AKA:Prince
"Walk Like An Egytain" went to #1 and had a hit video on Mtv.Most songs are penned by The Bangles but thier biggest hits were penned by others.These gurls can write and I hope you realize that while listining to this album. No, I repeat No Bangles collection could be complete without owning this album.
