LC Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Here's one for the fellas... (uh, ladies, too, actually).... Along the lines of the "Ginger or MaryAnn?" and "Betty or Veronica?" discussions on another thread, how about "GoGos... or Bangles"? Wasn't it fun having both all-girl bands around in the 1980s? Personally, I wouldn't ask any of 'em to leave the premises, but in a pinch, I'd go for the Bangles. Now, as for their music... (hee hee hee)Your refresher courses:* Bangles (this is awesome... great song by Jules Shear): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjQ76vqwYMk * GoGos (their lips are sealed): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrYM2Gt9sMw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich From PA Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Bangles, hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bessieboo Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Both, they are different flavors,The Go Go's had a few very fun songs but...The Bangles are great!There are not enough girl groups to sing the songs of a woman's heart.I like them both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yeah, LC you've got to do better than this. It's no competition. I forget what the GoGos looked like, but musically, it's the Bangles case closed (right after ABBA, of course).. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadie #3 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I have always thought the Bangles were great and at the LA show at the HOB Sunset Strip this past November I got to meet Susanna backstage before the show. During the show she sat up in the balcony right in front of Wally and seemed to love the performance. Now what I would really like to see is a Raspberries/Bangles tour. Together they would fill any house and rock all night long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LC Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 James... Bangles and GoGos are a LOT closer than, say, Beatles and Abba.... C'mon now.... Abba did cute pop music for a while, but it's about as substantive as a spoonful of whipped cream...Ernie, that's awesome! I hadn't heard that Susanna attended the LA show! I do remember reading that she considered recording "Go All the Way" with Matthew Sweet (?), however, so it makes sense.... Your idea for a Raspberries/Bangles tour is awesome! Naturally, you'd handle Susanna's guitars too, right? She's got such a great voice.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadie #3 Posted January 4, 2008 Share Posted January 4, 2008 I would love to handle her guitars. Our crew would be more than happy to take care of both bands. Somebody please talk to some booking agents and get this going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 That Tracy Ullman hit "They Don't Know" was out back then. A great pop song! I'd put that song up against The Bangles stuff (and I thought The Bangles were really good)...

Early Wynn Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 IMO, the Bangles never did anything that rocked like "Unforgiven" from God Bless the Go Go's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Susanna Hoffs is besutiful, but the Go-Go's are outstanding especially live. I give the Go-Go's the nod. And yes, "Unforgiven" and the rest of that God Bless the Go-Go's CD is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
