Circling back...nice call!

People trip when I tell them how much I'm into the Bangles. Mainly, I think it's because most people associate them with their pop hits, and one would assume that's all they are, is a pop band.

Nope. I know Rodney/KROQ was credited with giving them airplay, but I remember hearing them on KLOS 95.5 (rock station). Going Down to Liverpool was the song they played in regular rotation.

Cover of a great song by Big Star

Their first hit record which was never much of a hit because of their lame record company...40-years ago...

She is outstanding and has the best voice out there these days.

It's like Angel was written for her...

Great version here too as she pays hommage to Elizabeth Cotten's Shake Sugaree. I've posted up Cotten's songs here before, awesome picker. I think she's was the oldest Grammy winner, ever, at least for music.

Schweet! Daughter found wifey's old Walkman.

Popped it open and found a gem inside.

Opened the battery bay and no corrosion. The thing works! Not bad for +-30 years old.

But dang, cassette's sound like crap

Update: The belt broke, so it's pretty much a cool paperweight now. Daughter bummed but she no longer wants to listen to cassette's and can't believe us old fuccs listened to them. Too much work, not enough "options" and they sound slike shit. lol

The great Tom Petty and Prince.

Prince delivers a jaw dropping solo starting at 3:30

I was wondering how long this thread has been going for. Went to page one. Jan. 2018. 4 plus years ago. I certainly remember this song. 🤘

Oh shiat, Napa will pop a chubby...

Damn straight but I just came across this. Hate Stern but this was a favorite of a friend of mine back in the bar pool playing days mid 90’s.

She is a FB friend but she has not posted on there in a few years. I asked her before to jump back in, she must have other things to worry about instead of posting "old man rock" as a friend describes it lol

After Depeche Mode. But before Erasure...
And before Melissa Etheridge...

There was Alison Moyet and Vince Clark


I imagine they make a grip on royalties. This song, and the multitude of different versions of it, appears on tons of commercials and TV shows.
