| Bangles Bangles 1982 IRS Records |
The
Real World I'm in Line Want You |
Mary Street How is the Air Up There? |
||||
| Their
debut EP released to an unsuspecting public. Made nary a ripple in the pond
of life. Too bad -- there's some good stuff here. |

| Bangles All Over the Place 1984 Columbia Records |
Hero
Takes a Fall Live James All About You Dover Beach Tell Me |
Restless Going Down to Liverpool He's Got a Secret Silent Treatment More Than Meets the Eye |
||||
| With
MTV in full swing, these California girls had a better chance at success.
Thanks to the video for 'Hero Takes a Fall,' this album sold respectfully well. Still heads above The Go-Go's, in my book. |

| Bangles Different Light 1986 Columbia Records |
Manic
Monday In a Different Light Walking Down Your Street Walk Like an Egyptian Standing in the Hallway Return Post |
If She
Knew What She Wants Let it Go September Gurls Angels Don't Fall in Love Following Not Like You |
||||
| With
fame comes the strange -- Prince
reportedly vowed his undying love for Susannah Hoffs (guitar, vocals) and gave the group their first big hit: 'Manic Monday.' This one also has possibly the worst song ever: 'Walk Like an Egyptian.' The Big Star cover and 'If She Knew What She Wants' saves this record for me. |

| Bangles Everything 1988 Columbia Records |
In
Your Room Complicated Girl Bell Jar Something to Believe In Eternal Flame Be With You |
Glitter
Years I'll Set You Free Watching the Sky Some Dreams Come True Make a Play for Her Now Waiting for You Crash and Burn |
||||
| Their
last album (before their break-up) was a wonderful record, probably their
best. Great songs, wonderfully perfomred and produced. Even the sappy 'Eternal Flame' is easy to take. The Bangles did re- form in 2000 or so and released a new alkbum, but so far it's only available as a Japanese import. Maybe someday . . . |

Tear
Off your Own Head ..... ..... (It's a Doll's Revolution) Stealing Rosemary Something That You Said Ask Me No Questions The Rain Song Nickel Romeo Ride the Ride I Will Take Care of You |
Here Right
Now Single By Choice Lost at Sea Song for a Good Son Mixed Messages Between the Two Grateful |
||||
| Except
for a couple of mediocre tracks, this reunion album is one of the best.
And it certainly holds up very well to the rest of The Bangles catalog. Here's hoping there's more from this great group. |
