Did she pass through a worm hole?
I aged and she did not!

Hoffs is backup/harmony on this cover but it was the song that got me hooked on the Bangles. You might recognize the family friend of Hoffs as their disgruntled driver

The one shot in “Walk Like an Egyptian”, just her eyes, sparked a million childhood crushes.

glenno1961.bsky.social•40 days ago

Still does!

bjtetreault.bsky.social•40 days ago

“Eternal Flame” hands down.
One of my favorite songs of all time, all genres

reclaimingsanity.bsky.social•40 days ago

Bell Jar is a really underrated track.

chkgrz.bsky.social•40 days ago

I have to go with Hazy Shade of Winter, but there are so many good ones.

artbybart.bsky.social•41 days ago

Room full of mirrors.?

mesugo.bsky.social•40 days ago

I had a bit part in a lip sync contest to Manic Monday when I was seven. I got to lip sync the "time, it goes so fast" line. 🤣

dailytrix.bsky.social•40 days ago

Their cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "Hazy Shade of Winter" for the Less Than Zero (1987) soundtrack.

dubldowndrew.bsky.social•41 days ago

I'm partial to her collabs with Matthew Sweet 😉

I think it's cool that she's always played Rickenbackers.

Hero Takes A Fall

underthebluff.bsky.social•40 days ago

Manic Monday is most excellent followed closely by Hazy Shade of Winter

marebear33.bsky.social•41 days ago

Manic Monday will always be my jam

rredswans.bsky.social•40 days ago

what i meant to say 😌

bentwood.bsky.social•40 days ago

Cool women play Rickenbacker guitars...always

dmvd4d6rouge7.bsky.social•38 days ago

"Manic Monday"

patriciaclark.bsky.social•40 days ago

Honestly all of them but especially....Hazy Shade of Winter, Hero Takes a Fall, Going Down to Liverpool

lunamagica09.bsky.social•41 days ago

Eternal flame.

miafasz3.bsky.social•41 days ago

Manic Monday

jumpstreet.bsky.social•41 days ago

"In Your Room," "If She Knew What She Wants," "Glitter Years," "Hero Takes a Fall" to name a few!

Manic Monday… i saw the Bangles on their first European club tour, playing a date in The Hague. I was a young rock critic, standing backstage. Susanna walked by and up close she was extremely beautiful - and tiny! The gig was nice, the band a male keyboard player standing in the wings.

whammydavisjr.bsky.social•41 days ago

The Bangles cover of Hazy Shade of Winter is better than the original and I have been lusting after her Rickenbacker for years. What a gorgeous guitar.

annhawaii.bsky.social•40 days ago

Following, Hazy Shade of Winter and If She Knew What She Wants.

cameraguy516.bsky.social•41 days ago

Walk like an Egyptian

gumbeyond.bsky.social•40 days ago

In Your Room

tjomaha.bsky.social•41 days ago

Always will be Eternal Flame

rcknrlr.bsky.social•41 days ago

If She Knew What She Wants is a damn fine song!

gonzo0414.bsky.social•40 days ago

Still beautiful

bilal.ca•40 days ago

She’s 66 in this picture?!

Amazing! Cheers

pn562287.bsky.social•41 days ago

The Bangles was one of the popular bands in the 80's. My most favorite song is "Walk Like An Egyptian" Happy Birthday, Susanna.

bookworm604.bsky.social•40 days ago

Yes, this one

killersams.bsky.social•41 days ago

Here’s a good one with her and the band Travis.

sbelcaptan.bsky.social•41 days ago

I don't know why, but "Walk Like an Egyptian" is my fav.

kenyettawrites.bsky.social•40 days ago

One of my favorites is Hazy Shade of Winter.

fiction-machine.bsky.social•41 days ago

Thank you for saying "co-founder" and not "lead singer" as so many people do.

The Bangles didn't have a lead singer; they all took turns singing lead.

kittycrazykat.bsky.social•39 days ago

Manic Monday. Always reminds me of my first job after college.

lenaluna.bsky.social•41 days ago

An enduring cult classic - Walk like an Egyptian. To this day no one has managed to do it 😉

do30red.bsky.social•41 days ago

OMG 🤯 66!

theresaiwright.bsky.social•40 days ago

Hazy Shade of Winter and Eternal Flame

heradescends.bsky.social•40 days ago

Oh man, takes me back Eternal Flame, Manic Monday and Walk like an Egyptian, I had to tape them from the radio after waiting for the songs to play and tripping over myself to coordinate that two fingered play and record button technology of the 80s
