      Am pre-genX and the late 70s thru 1991 was a sweet spot, musically: start of funk, hip hop and rap. Era produced tons of unique songs and sounds. I especially revere the all-female bands, eg, The Go-Go's and The Bangles. Transcendent artists.

    Susanna Hoffs has THE sexiest voice in modern music. They could release a recording of her reading from a diesel rig repair manual, and I would sit there sighing like a love-struck schoolboy. And on top of that, this is one of the most beautiful ballads released at the time, and the video is gorgeous. The campfire lighting on their faces is just stunning.

    • @ldmax

      And she wasn't the only singer in the group. Debi Peterson and Michael Steele were better than most other bands' lead singers. They traded lead vocals on their early material. The record label pushed Susanna to the forefront because she had the looks, but the whole band had unbelievable talent. They were the total package.

The Beatles would not have come close to passing the audition phase of The Voice, whereas the Bangles would have dominated. Paul is not going to have sex with you, so just retreat to your basement and fantasise elsewhere. Yes, the Bangles' harmonies are three flames wondrous, but the Beatles were not ever close vocally. Not that the Beatles were not wonderful innovators, in their field, AT THE TIME, but they were light years surpassed in execution by four innovative hot babe musicians who took Beatles music and made it SO much better. I say that to be nice but I really do not see much similarity between the Beatles and the Bangles.The Bangles are better, even if the ladies do not agree.

    Sweet. Amber, regarding when you were talking about how the second time she went up to that high note and she treated it differently ... This song is in the key of G and the high note is D, but regardless, the first time she goes up there she stays in her chest voice which has more power. But the second time, with that climactic sense, you expect her to do that again but instead she goes up there and switches to her head voice, which is more airy and light (the equivalent of a guy moving up into falsetto). And then right before it totally fades out, she does it a third time, and this time she goes up there with her chest voice again. Wonderful. And I totally agree with the other recommendations to check out their Hazy Shade of Winter. You are guaranteed to love it.

    Eternal Flame is a really good song, but putting it into historical perspective, it also caused a bit of drama in the band. It's here where the other members of the band started to feel like The Bangles had become Susanna Hoffs and The Bangles, they felt she was getting lead status in the group, which started some jealousy and communication started to break down. They broke up after this album, which is a shame, because the last thing they recorded was "Hazy Shade of Winter" for the Less Than Zero soundtrack, and the session had gone so well, it seemed like they were all on the same page, finally. Then Susanna Hoffs, with too many people in her ear telling lies about the band, pretty much left the band for a solo career that went nowhere. After 10 years they did reform, realizing that the whole drama was really other people pitting them against each other.

      @@Wungolioth I agree. I think it was less that it was an all-female band and so their egos clashed than that their record label was playing them against each other. They put Susanna out front and told her they'd make her a solo star. They also told Michael the same thing, that she was the most talented one in the band and they'd make HER a solo star. Then the band broke up and they never offered Michael a record deal and she basically quit the music biz for 20 years because of how they treated her. I wouldn't be surprised if similar shenanigans had been going on with Vicki and Debbi. I think if their record label hadn't gotten greedy and decided they could get at least two solo stars in place of one band, and played them against each other to try to make that happen, the Bangles would have stayed together at least a bit longer. And then Susanna's solo career wasn't nearly as big as anything she did with the Bangles, Michael basically disappeared after the way the record company treated her, and Vicki and Debbi went off to do side projects that never had any significant commercial success.
