It always comes back to The Bangles for me.
From the first song of theirs I heard (their cover of "Going Down To Liverpool") and throughout their career, I have always thought they were four excellent musicians who just happened to be female performing great music.
This was the first single off their third album Everything and it was the band's fourth top 5 hit. Written by Susanna Hoffs, the primary vocalist for The Bangles, it is one of my personal favorites by the band.
For our live selection today, I wanted to choose a really recent performance, for two reasons. First of all, the band hasn't lost a beat. At all.
The second is that bassist. The classic Bangles lineup included Michael Steele on bass, but she was NOT the original bassist. The original bassist was a woman named Annette Zilinskas, who left the band in 1983, just before their breakthrough All Over The Place album was released.
35 years later, in 2018, Annette Zilinskas returned to the band. And I just think that's awesome.
