Compilation Introduction
Greatest Hits is a 14-track compilation by The Bangles — Susanna Hoffs (vocals and guitar), Vicki Peterson (guitar), Debbi Peterson (drums) and Michael Steele (bass) — from Los Angeles, California, released in 1990 on Columbia Records. Walk Like an Egyptian reached US No. 1 (1986), Manic Monday reached US No. 2 (1986, written by Prince), Eternal Flame reached US No. 1 and UK No. 1 (1989), and Hazy Shade of Winter reached US No. 2 (1987, from the Less Than Zero soundtrack). The compilation also includes In Your Room (US No. 5, 1988), If She Knew What She Wants, Going Down to Liverpool and Hero Takes a Fall, showcasing the band's distinctive harmonies, jangly guitars and catchy melodies that made them one of the most commercially dominant female-fronted bands of the 1980s.
Tracklist Highlights
- Walk Like an Egyptian — One of the most immediately recognisable and commercially dominant recordings of 1986; its combination of a driving, pop-rock production and the band's ensemble vocal harmonies gives it a sustained commercial appeal that gave The Bangles their first US No. 1. US No. 1 (1986).
- Manic Monday — Written by Prince and one of the most immediately distinctive pop recordings of 1986; its combination of a warm, melodic production and Hoffs's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained commercial appeal. US No. 2 (1986).
- Eternal Flame — A warm, orchestral ballad and one of the most emotionally direct recordings in The Bangles' catalogue; its combination of a warm, string-laden production and Hoffs's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained emotional weight. US No. 1. UK No. 1 (1989).
- Hazy Shade of Winter — A driving, rock-influenced cover of the Simon & Garfunkel classic from the Less Than Zero soundtrack; its combination of a driving, guitar-led production and the band's ensemble vocal harmonies gives it a sustained commercial appeal. US No. 2 (1987).
- In Your Room — A warm, melodic pop-rock track and one of the most immediately distinctive recordings on the compilation; its combination of a warm, contemporary production and Hoffs's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained commercial appeal. US No. 5 (1988).
