The songs were really reminiscent of the Beatles and the vocal harmonies of surfer bands.Space Commanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980773832050906325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-1767666545153768462010-07-02T16:33:15.129-04:002010-07-02T16:33:15.129-04:00I LOVE this band!

I have their first EP, before Michael Steele joined, but I think All Over the Place is their masterpiece (that's the first full length record with Michael). Michael was my idol. All of the girls were gorgeous, but she was so powerful with that big ol' bass! <br /><br />I think The Go-Go's might be higher on my list, but just barely. These girls were incredible.<br /><br />Have a great 4th! :)Amanda By Nighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01910620012465381103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15023065.post-82498589829292337272010-07-02T14:27:43.759-04:002010-07-02T14:27:43.759-04:00The other forgotten classic of theirs that I love ...The other forgotten classic of theirs that I love is "My Side of the Bed."

And Eternal Flame and In Your Room are definitely my favourites also. Thanks for posting the video. I never really watched videos - too busy reading and studying back then - so this is the first time that I have seen this. Have a great holiday weekend.LaraAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15460415207474314306noreply@blogger.com
