  1986. 40 years later.

  Chris ODonnell

  In 1986 I was a teenage metalhead. But Susanna Hoff's undeniable cuteness could pierce the soul of even the most hardened metalhead, so I was a fan. I still listen to Hoff's solo stuff (she released a fabulous album last year) and The Bangles, so this is not so much a revisit as an acknowledgement that this record still sounds great. They layered their 60s Byrds influences under some 80s sheen, but it is still there. Plus, of course, the Prince-penned Manic Monday leads the album. Definitely one to keep in the playlist.
