Many listeners who grew up in the 1980s recall "Walk Like an Egyptian," "Eternal Flame" and "Manic Monday" as early radio and video memories. At the same time, the four-woman group's talents went much deeper than those songs. First noticed as an amalgam of British Invasion and American garage and folk-rock influences, the Los Angeles-bred Bangles soon found themselves part of the Paisley Underground movement along with similarly forward-yet-backward-thinking bands like the Rain Parade and the Dream Syndicate. A self-titled EP for Miles Copeland's Faulty Products label and a Columbia debut album, <I>All Over the Place,</I> saw them asserting rapidly evolving songwriting chops that gave voice to a vulnerable yet unyielding feminism. Though they were a scorching live act, the Bangles' guitar-based sound wasn't enough to push them through to success outside the college-radio ghetto. Enter Prince. Impressed by singer Susanna Hoffs, he passed "Manic Monday" on to the band, which found itself with a No. 2 hit on its hands in the spring of 1986. It was only the first of four major single releases from the softer-edged <I>Different Light,</I> whose success culminated in a month-long run at No. 1 for "Egyptian." The Bangles' approach was built in part on their vocal blend, which gave everyone in the group a chance at lead vocals. Growing media focus on Hoffs led to resentment in the ranks, even as the act scored another smash with a return to paisley roots: a cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "Hazy Shade of Winter" from the <I>Less Than Zero</I> soundtrack. One more album, <I>Everything,</I> yielded the massive ballad "Eternal Flame," but the Bangles were history by 1990.
