One of the songs that made the 80's.

Belinda, and the girls playing their own instruments,, whoever their manager was brilliant.

Mods pull if "too" controversial.

Still the only all-female band with a no. 1 album. (Bangles only made #2.)

The 80’s was the greatest generation of technically proficient songs.

The 70’s was the greatest generation of live performances, imo.

John Hughes picked this number as the lead-in to Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

We’ve got the beat was genius. any band going back to the beatles would have killed for this song. Belinda Carlise + cocaine = hotness! The time was ripe for the return of girl-bands

I'll admit that the Go-Go's are a group whos songs actually have held up rather well. They are simple and direct. I didn't really care for them back in the day, but their sound has definitely grown on me over the years.

Why do you keep adding “Mods pull if “too” controversial.”?

The mods will pull something with or without poster input.

Besides, none of the things I’ve seen you post is the least bit controversial — it’s all mainstream FR stuff.

You really don’t need to add that line.

Another great girl band hit, Bananarama’s Cruel Summer:

Love the video at the end where they’re dancing with the bad guys.

A few years after the movie was made I was driving near the Sherman Oaks Galleria ( Ridgemont Mall ). It was the only time I ever had a bird strike on my truck. I’ve driven up down most of the East Coast a few times and once from Upstate NY to Oakland Ca. Plus from Santa Barbra CA to Charleston SC and a few foreign countries. One would think that if you ever saw webbed feet at the top of your windshield, it would be in the thousands of miles of nothing I had to pass through to get where I needed to go and not in a highly populated area like that.

A few miles before there, I saw an “All American Burger.” I wanted to go back to it just to see this sign, but it got too late;
