Wow...I love how The Bangles had been doing "A Hazy Shade of Winter" (:48) way before the film, "Less Than Zero", ever came out. Later, they finally recorded it and placed it on the film's motion picture soundtrack in 1987.
@kgp8 Suzannah Melvoin is the identical twin sister of Prince and the Revolution guitarist Wendy Melvoin. The late Jonathon Melvoin (Smashing Pumpkins keyboardist) is their older brother. Sarah McLauchlan wrote the song "Angel" as a tribute to him. Suzannah and Prince were engaged for a brief period of time.
@estyle40 Me too, even though I do miss MJ. It seems like any musician's popularity rises 10 times when he or she dies. I always wonder what would happen if Biggie, Pac, or Selena still be living, knowing how weak the music bizness is.
@estyle40 I agree, but I wonder if they are still here, will they still be successful? Snoop Dogg still can't top the Doggystyle album or has he? I don't pay attention to today's music lately.
Well, The Bangles were actually Petersons & Hoffs, I mean they created the musical concept, Zilinskas here was just a mere musician and she decided to leave and do some other stuff. She was beautiful indeed, too bad she left. Now that Michael is gone from the Bangles they should have Zilinskas back.
Annette was gorgeous. Check out the videos she has with Blood on the Saddle. Lady had one great voice. The Bangles seriously lost a serious talent when she left the band.
Well, they were lucky to get Manic Monday from Prince. It's a great song, fits The Bangles style well, and he was a bankable name to have attached to the group at that time. Win/Win/Win for Prince, The Bangles and the listeners.
But it should be said that The Bangles were a great band before Prince had ever even heard of them. One listen to All Over The Place proves that.
That Copeland guy is seriously irritating. Guys in suits (men in black) -yeah that's the record industry -corporate America. Did the Bangles absolutely no favours (and didnt understand their chemistry either), Manipulated by Columbia stylists (just like today - no difference). And then creepy, cringy Prince hunting Susanna (Predator)and that terrible manic song. omg. Lucky escape for her. But the industry (men in suits) split Susanna off from the band and deluded her. Typical.
@jezkn I suspected their look on the first album was probably contrived. I didn't know the back story...But I felt this style didn't fit the music & the attitude they had.
@dummytreeThe Bangles were, like so many bands formed in their parents garage ( a garage band!) -which is where their original fantastic style & cohesion was forged. Like so much other young talent- they got pulled every which way -& yes -led astray. - the Copeland episode -the later cringeworthy Prince palava are just two examples - Susanna's ill-fated solo career another.But in the end they survived as a unit(and prevailed -cos they wern't manufactured -and their legacy will long live with us)

How insane is that, that "Manic Monday" was #2, behind "Kiss", BOTH written by Prince? Other than Lennon/McCartney, who else has done that???
