Weighing in at 14 tracks, Greatest Hits is a good, basic collection of the Bangles' biggest singles, containing all the hits, including the previously non-LP "Hazy Shade of Winter," plus a couple of album tracks and, for the dedicated, a new cover of the Grass Roots' "Where Were You When I Needed You." It may be easy to carp about fine album tracks from All Over the Place and Different Light that should have been included, yet this is a fine sampler/introduction that might not necessarily capture the Bangles' best -- in this context, their ties to the Paisley Underground and college rock seem nonexistent -- but still finds them as masters of irresistible pop singles.
Here in Central NY it definitely feels like winter, even though technically it's still better than 3 weeks away. I thought this would be appropriate, and as it turns out is really a great cover by a band that had a couple of hits in "Manic Monday" and "Walk Like An Egyptian" But for me it didn't matter what they "sang" they always looked good doing it!!
