Bangles – Best Of The Bangles

The Bangles – Best Of The Bangles

Best Of The Bangles brings together 18 tracks from one of the defining American pop-rock bands of the 1980s. The Bangles combined jangly guitars, infectious melodies, close vocal harmonies and a strong 1960s influence with the polished production of the new wave and pop-rock era. This collection covers their major songwriting and recording period, featuring songs from All Over The Place, A Different Light and Everything.

The collection features some of The Bangles' biggest and most recognisable songs, including Walk Like An Egyptian, Manic Monday, In Your Room and the beautiful power ballad Eternal Flame. Manic Monday, written by Prince, became one of the group's signature hits, while Eternal Flame showcased the softer, more romantic side of Susanna Hoffs and the band. If She Knew What She Wants, Hero Takes A Fall and September Gurls further demonstrate the group's knack for melodic guitar pop.

There's also plenty here for listeners who prefer the Bangles' less obvious album tracks, including James, More Than Meets The Eye, Not Like You, All About You, Complicated Girl, Let It Go, Live, Some Dreams Come True and Watching The Sky. The selection highlights the band's distinctive blend of jangle pop, new wave, power pop and 1960s-influenced rock, making it useful both as an introduction and as a nostalgic collection for established fans.

A great choice for fans of The Bangles, Susanna Hoffs, 1980s pop rock, new wave, jangle pop and female-fronted guitar bands, with a tracklist packed with memorable melodies and classic songs from one of the era's most successful American groups.
