- The Bangles are an all-female band started in the early 1980s. Their genre can be summed up as a combination of rock, pop, Power Pop and jangle pop, with a pronounced influence from The Byrds and The Sixties rock that lumped them in with the Paisley Underground movement. The band consists of Debbi Peterson (vocals, drums), Vicki Peterson (vocals, guitar) and Susanna Hoffs (vocals, guitar), with former members Annette Zilinksas (vocals, bass) and Michael Steele (vocals, bass).

Their genre can be summed up as a combination of rock, pop, Power Pop and jangle pop, with a pronounced influence from The Byrds and The Sixties rock that lumped them in with the Paisley Underground movement. The band consists of Debbi Peterson (vocals, drums), Vicki Peterson (vocals, guitar) and Susanna Hoffs (vocals, guitar), with former members Annette Zilinksas (vocals, bass) and Michael Steele (vocals, bass). Their first album, the Beatlesque Power Poppy All Over the Place earned them some good reviews but most importantly the attention of Prince, who wrote "Manic Monday" for them. The song and its accompanying album Different Light departed from the band's sixties rock sound in favour of state-of-the-art New Wave pop and more outside songwriters, to great commercial success and another hit single ("Walk Like an Egyptian"). Then, intra-band tensions worsened, and after releasing one more album, Everything, they split in 1989. They re-formed in 1999 to make a song for Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (whose director, Jay Roach, is also Susanna Hoffs' husband), and after that stayed together again. Michael Steele left the group in 2005 to become chairman of the Republican National Committee. (Ironically, in at least some recent live performances, the bass player for the band has been, like the "other" Michael Steele, a middle-aged black man.) Several of their songs have appeared on movie soundtracks, including "I Got Nothing," which they wrote for The Goonies, and their hit cover of "Hazy Shade of Winter", which appeared on the soundtrack for Less Than Zero. They have also provided backup vocals for Cyndi Lauper and Tom Petty. Albums:
* The Bangles EP (1982)
* All Over the Place (1984)
* Different Light (1986)
* Everything (1988)
* Greatest Hits (1990)
* September Gurls (all previously-released material) (1995)
* Doll Revolution (2003)
* Sweetheart of the Sun (2011)
