The Next Episode

We bring "The Ladies of the 80's" to a close with an unmitigated banger.  Not talking about sausage but this British(?) crew led by The Dread Pirate Hynde, purely plundered our hearts and minds.  No more rhyming.  I mean it!  Beware the rope-a-dope of Side B...

Ladies of the 80"s can't stop and won't stop.  Let's cast our ears back to the "Reagan Era" for this delightful second album by The Bangles.  We'll see what a young "up and comer", Prince had to contribute and how the gals had everyone walking like Egyptians.

We're still about the "Ladies of the 80s" in this episode.  Out of the early 80s L.A. punk scene came a force of nature known as the Go-Gos.  With a little bit of help from an "old school" record man behind the board, they delivered a classic that won't quit.  Just like Jared's love for Belinda Carlisle.  

We're going to kick off our "Ladies of the 80's" run with the queen herself, Pat Benatar.  "Crimes of Passion" is her second album.  Released in 1980, no one could match her tough-guy femininity or her singing chops.  Throw in the guitar man Neil Giraldo and stand back and turn it up.  There's a reason these two have been making beautiful music together for over 40 years.
