:heart:The Bangles :heart: My first cassette tape…pretty sure it was 1986. I can still remember when I’d watch their videos on MTV and then take my cassette player down to the basketball court to practice the dance routines. I miss the ‘80s.

I liked these other bands. However this honor has to go to the Go Gos.

BBC summed it up better than I could: The Go-Go’s made history in March 1982 when their brilliant debut album, Beauty and the Beat, climbed to the top of the Billboard 200 chart. They duly became the first all-female group who wrote their own songs and played their own instruments to score a number one album in the US. Nearly 40 years later, no other instrument-playing all-female band has managed to match their achievement.

Who can forget the walk! Yet, I could only mentally hear the chorus. I forgot all the other lyrics. While googling the lyrics, I learned the song was inspired by how the Brits try to keep their balance on English Channel ferries. The writter thought the Brits look like the Egyptian paintings. I guess “Walk like an Egyptians” is slightly more catchy than “Balance like the British on Ferries.”

Does strutting and strumming count?

This took “70 takes” - Robert Palmer was a perfectionist but made a classic in 1985
