The Bangles' transformation from Merseybeat and garage-smart guitar band to near-definitive example of buffed-and-polished corporate popsters is one of the great rock mysteries of the '80s. What was up with that video for "Walk Like an Egyptian," anyway? Greatest Hits puts it all in perspective, tracing the curve from the post-Beatles group sneer of "Hero Takes a Fall" to the deadly earnest Susanna Hoffs showcase of "Eternal Flame." Shortly after that ballad hit No. 1, the group split. Now unfairly remembered as little more than space fillers on turn-of-the-decade airwaves, the Bangles here make a good case for their spirit, their own songwriting gifts, and, of course, those voices. --Rickey Wright

- Bang Bangles, Baby
In the decade that brought us The Go-Go's, Cyndi Lauper and Bananarama, The Bangles were a great group of women who tried to smash the girl-group stereotype by (like Beauty and the Beat) being a fully formed band that wrote their own songs and played their own music. The early EP (not on here and credited as The Bangs) found them on the fringes of the Paisley Underground, and having a distinct Byrds/Beatles infuence. By the first full-length, All Over the Place, these influences came into sharp pop ... Read More

They were among the girl groups that marked the 80's. I still enjoy their music to this day. Five stars!
