Travis was in the Love Dolls in the 80s, and went on to play session bass with everybody from Beck to the Bangles to the Meat Puppets to KMFDM, yet [...]

The Bangles: Sweetheart of the Sun

Nov 6, 2011, 7:50pm Rocker Magazine

During their initial run in the 1980s, The Bangles were labeled by some critics as a poor man's version of the Go-Go's. It seemed unfair to me. After all, hadn't their three albums – 1984's All Over the Place , 1986's Different Light and 1988's Everything – produced poppy, progressively commercial tracks such as "Hero Takes a Fall," "Walk Like an Egyptian" and "Eternal Flame"? And hadn't Prince himself been so impressed by "Hero" that he wrote the popular "Manic Monday" for the second album? The Bangles had their own sound; the only [...]

FIVE GREAT SONGS BY FIVE GREAT FEMALE SINGERS THAT SHOULD HAVE GONE TO NO. 1

Oct 14, 2011, 7:35am THEME FOR GREAT CITIES

Today's topic: pop hits -- or songs that should have been. Katy Perry and Rihanna can rack up No. 1 singles in their sleep. Between them, they've had 16 in the last six years. But the leading ladies of pop haven't always had it so easy. Here are five of the most egregious examples currently in heavy rotation on my iPod. 1) Susanna Hoffs: "My Side of the Bed" Considering how hot the Bangles were in the late '80s, one might have expected the 1991 debut solo single from the band's lead singer to have [...]
