2000s - #2:  Products of the Los Angeles music scene, The Bangles were the perfect band to capitalize on the rise of the MTv generation and the resurgence of pop music in the late 1980s. While the 1986 album Different Light, which included Manic Monday and Walk Like An Egyptian, gets most of the attention from fans and critics alike, I prefer their first disc, All Over The Place. That one includes Hero Takes A Fall and Going Down To Liverpool, my 2 favorite Bangle tunes. The band broke up in 1998, but after a decade separation, reformed in 1998. After touring in 2000, they spent 2001 and 2002 in the studio recording Doll Revolution, their first album of new material in 15 years. This FM broadcast captures The Bangles in the Netherlands on April 14, 2003, 22 years ago today, on tour in support of that disc.
