Doesn’t Debbi Peterson sound a bit like John Lennon on the chorus?

Tanya had it right had the Bangles did nothing elase after “All Over the Place.” However, they did, and that is fine. There are sone superb moments on subsequent discs. They do a bang-up version of Big Star’s “September Gurls”, and Michael Steele’s efforts on “Everything” are first rate. Even “In Your Room” has some trippy moments. It is too bad they sold out.
Rock and roll is a business. It is amazing how good the music was back in the 1960s when the rules for co,mmercialism were set.

That Susanna Hoffs eh. Of course I didnt spell her name right …its the internet for Gods sake…anyway. Katrina and the waves penned it but didnt make it famous and that is why the UB40 was invented.
Live long and prosper.

( Unemployment Benefit Form No. 40 ) which I and many of my age had to fill in when Margaret Thatchers Hatchett came down on us in the eighties.

“The fact that the song was written by ex Soft Boy and future Wave Kimberley Rew is no excuse for a complete lack of research done.”
