Thanks for the link, and now you're making me regret I didn't take up the option to see the Benatar/Bangles double act! <br /><br />OK, I guess I have to give the reunion album a go. BTW, "Dover Beach" is one of my favourite songs of all time.YourZenMinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573065866540263511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1064723535689191525.post-53885312275935070472010-10-25T19:30:10.192+11:002010-10-25T19:30:10.192+11:00OK, I’ll come clean here: I’m a big Bangles fan so...OK, I’ll come clean here: I’m a big Bangles fan so I’ll beg to differ on a few points. Having said that, I’ll admit that ‘Different light’ is not my favourite album – in fact I would put it in last place and it’s entirely due to all that commercial crap like ‘Walk Like an Egyptian’ and ‘Manic Monday’. Their own contributions are much better, especially the title track.<br />Like Mine, I’d prefer ‘All Over the Place’ but for best would actually go with their reunion album ‘Doll Revolution’ (2003) which is by far their best album to date, beating their debut and the somewhat patchy ‘Everything’ into a cocked hat.<br />The reasons why I like them are twofold: a) they are a proper band in that they ALL contribute both musically and vocally (despite what the media would have you believe i.e. that Hoffs is the ‘talent’) and b) they are one of the best live bands I’ve seen, without exception.<br />I could go on and on here but I’ll leave you to check out http://mwarminger.blogspot.com/2007/12/return-to-bangleonia.html if you’re at all interested!music obsessivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16191742084494035205noreply@blogger.com
