Amid the synth-pop and glam-metal that dominated mid-1980s American radio, the Bangles seemed an anachronism.The all-female Southern California quartet imbued their songs with jingle-jangle guitars and sweet harmonies that placed them firmly in the folk-rocky traditions of the Byrds and the Mamas and the Papas.
While their most famous tracks, the novelty hit "Walk Like an Egyptian" and the power ballad "Eternal Flame," were rather radio-friendly, their album cuts showcased a band wearing their Beatles badges proudly on their lapels.
After peaking commercially in the late '80s, the Bangles went their separate ways, occasionally reuniting since.
