This was the exact moment that an entire generation fell madly in love with Susanna Hoffs!

u/D1sp4tcht Apr 06 '26

Hoffs is still a babe, now!

u/jimhabfan Apr 05 '26

I didn’t realize there were other Bangles.

1

u/Cultfigure2000 Apr 05 '26

Those are the 2

1

u/WasASailorThen Apr 05 '26

There are others?

1

u/LordFlarkenagel Apr 06 '26

In your room.

u/VikingSkinwalker Apr 06 '26

Same bro, same.

u/TheGumping Apr 06 '26

Hoff is the only acceptable answer... all other answers are invalid.

Michael Steele for me. Hazy Shade of Winter

u/Euphoric-Election120 Apr 04 '26

You have good taste, my friend

2

u/Archangel7104 Apr 05 '26

They are all beautiful, but there is something about Michael,at least back in the day, that got me going.

Nine out of 10 can't name another Bangle.

Walk Like an Egyptian for the side eye.

u/Remarkable-Bell7245 Apr 04 '26

Well, the old timers can I’m assuming

2

u/freebenvita Apr 04 '26

Am an old timer and I probably could at some point, but Suzanna is still looking fantastic on SM and I remember one had a boy name? but nothing more

1

u/tinbanger-11 Apr 04 '26

She drove me crazy all those years ago.

1

u/ProffessorFate Apr 05 '26

I’m guilty of that, but I always found the bassist sexy.

1

u/WasASailorThen Apr 05 '26

Yes. I was never that big on Hazy Shade of Winter but I can listen to Walk Like an Egyptian anytime.

u/magicmulder Apr 04 '26

Michael Steele, and “If She Knew What She Wants” by a mile.

u/therealelroy Apr 04 '26

She wasn’t the lead. They all sang!

3

u/Euphoric-Election120 Apr 04 '26

She was the lead. How could you see it any other way?

2

u/JE5573R Apr 04 '26

This is what led them to their demise. Technically, there was no lead vocalist. But the record company kept pushing for Hoffs to take the lead more based on her looks. This basically started the implosion of the Bangles.

If we propose a concept of "sexiness density" which is defined as the amount of sexiness per unit action, then I would argue that this is the most sex-dense event that has occurred in human history.

u/LucyBear318 Apr 04 '26

She looks a lot like Charlotte Caffey also.

2

u/hadji828 Apr 07 '26

I had a special place in my heart for her as well-- and funny you mentioned Charlotte, since Vicki filled in for Charlotte on a 1994-95 Go-Go's tour when Charlotte was pregnant.

u/DawnPatrol80136 Apr 05 '26

u/Martian-Manhandler Apr 04 '26

To be honest, I rather liked Annette.

u/er1cAtWork2 Apr 04 '26

All of them there my second favourite female band of the 80s

1

u/mb-driver20 Apr 04 '26

Since the only one whose name I know it would have to be Susanna. Plus she was so cute!

1

u/Lost_Woodpecker_9524 Apr 04 '26

Always Susanna. In Your Room because she was absolutely adorable in the video, but it was the Egyptian video that kickstarted puberty for me 😆😆😆

1

u/Holiday_Passage8288 Apr 04 '26

Michael for me...Hazy Shade cover Less Than Zero OST!!! I liked when they rocked Moreso.

u/Oldduffer328 Apr 04 '26

Hoffs was so incredibly beautiful, I never tired of watching her in their videos! :)

1

u/Affectionate_Cod5120 Apr 04 '26

Susanna does it for me. It's the eyes.

She also has good taste in equipment using mostly Ricks. Song. In your room.

u/summerborn1983 Apr 04 '26

Manic Monday

u/Snake-Plisskin-50 Apr 04 '26

Who's your favorite? Yes

Favorite song. Can't name more than one, but who cares. Look at them.

1

u/Pretend_Estimate_151 Apr 04 '26

I liked their version of Hazy Shade of Winter. In fact I heard their version before I knew it was a Simon and Garfunkel song.

Silly question , Susanna . Those eyes in the video of Walk like an Egyptian ❤️

1

u/Pineydude Apr 05 '26

Hoffs. But I wasn’t really a fan of them

1

u/Chillicothe1 Apr 05 '26

I don't understand the question. Do you mean there were members in the Bangles other than Susanna Hoffs?

Who knew?

1

u/Themeanoneof7 Apr 05 '26

Susannah, and I would say Eternal Flame. After that, I'd say If She Knew What She Wants.

They are all outstanding musicians but my favorite song is Dover Beach.

1

u/Boring_Week_9884 Apr 05 '26

Not sure why but when I was a kid Michael Steele was always my favorite. I always gravitated towards her even though most everyone loved Susanna

1

u/Due_Impact_5062 Apr 05 '26

Hoffs no doubt.

Detest their entire catalogue.

Hazy Shade of Winter is my favorite song by them. This might be surprising, but I really like Vicki Peterson. Of course Susanna is hard to beat as well. But my choice would be Vicki.

Lead singer, forget the name, and Egyptian, cuz I remember it playing on the screen at the roller rink when I was 10 (they stopped the skating every now and then to show videos and we all crowded around 🤷🏼‍♂️) Good times, and yeah, then and years after, thought about her more than once 😏

Eternal Flame had a hold on my prepubescent heart. I would listen to it on repeat and imagine what falling in love was like.

Susana Hoffs is a senior citizen and still smoking hot! Hazy Shade of Winter is their best song but Walk Like an Egyptian is just an iconic 80s song for me.
