Well, you can't have gone into that with your hopes high.

I like how it's basically almost an entirely different song. But seriously, people don't know it's a cover?

It's a completely different song, but it's still a good song. Most like that I don't even try to process as covers, really.

The kids don't appreciate JS Bach anymore.  What are you gonna do?

Yeah, all the kids these days are blastin' that DANGED Mahler on their fancy cat stereos. What has the world come to?

I gotta defend the Bangles here. After rereading the Martha Quinn thread, I must say I would kick her to the curb for Suzanna Hoffs.

Hey, hey! Don't make me out to be dogging on Suzanna Hoffs - she might read this! I just meant if you are a big fan of the S&G, you might be disappointed by the Bangles' version of the song. Also, inev just seemed like the type of guy who might really find the cover to be lacking.

yeah, for real, there are some Bangles songs that are awesome.

For some reason, though, I just remembered that my parents told me when I was a kid that they were the first band with only women in it.
Even then, I said "there's no way that can be true."
But of course at the time, they just said that I didn't understand, people didn't used to believe in equality for women, blah blah.

The current version of that is when my dad tries to convince me that the music he liked in college was "edgy."
My favorite my parents moment, though, in regards to rock music, is when my dad asked me to turn down the Hendrix album I was blasting, said "daniel... I always knew once you were in high school, you'd like loud, obnoxious music that I hate. I just... I never thought it would be music that came out when I was 12 years old."

Well, based on the second part, it's possiible that he was listening to edgy music in college - Clash, Talking Heads, Television . . . he didn't mean Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles, did he?

he listened to Fleetwood Mac and the Eagles, but mostly he was talking about Bruce Springsteen. "I don't care what you say, daniel, Springsteen was the edgiest thing around when I was your age."
And Neal Young, so I guess he gets a plus for that.

Edgy band with all girls? Previous to the Bangles (1975!!)? How about the Runaways?

Now I gotta pick between Lita Ford, Suzanna Hoffs and Martha Quinn?

GOD BLESS THE EIGHTIES!!!
