Walk Like An Egyptian
When I was a kid in the 80s, the Walk Like An Egyptian track wasn't played like it was on this CD. This CD contains classic camp hits like Walk Like an Egyptian, Manic Monday and Eternal Flame which hold up well today. I'm not the biggest Bangles fan, but I am a fan of 80s new wave, so I give it 3 stars for Manic Monday, Eternal Flame and Walk Like An Egyptian. It's o. k. for an all girl band. .


Brief, non-definitive...but all great music!!!
I had already owned the 1990 Greatest Hits CD for years, but decided to buy this because:

A)it contains more non-hit album tracks than the proper GH collection. My opinion of this collection falls somewhere inbetween the positive and negative reviews.

B)I have not heard any of the original albums in their entirety, but didn't feel like shelling out the $ for all of them. I thought this would be a good supplement.

C) It was cheap.

Considering my reasoning, I can't say I was dissapointed. Yes, the 1990 GH is more definitive, but it doesn't tell the whole story. This Super Hits CD expanded my Bangles horizon.


Nice collection for one of My favorities Pop/Rock group
I have bought this CD and I think it is a good 'Bangles' collection. I disagree with the preview opinions which said it is not a good CD. This CD contains all the four (4) Bangles greatest hits: "Eternal Flame" (the best all-time ballad), "Walk like an Egiptian", "Manic Monday" and "If She Knew What She Wants". All great songs !. The other songs: "James", "September Gurls", "Hero Takes A Fall" etc . . . will not disappoint you (I also like they very much, they are really good music except "Live"). I think it is worth while to buy this CD. :).


Avoid this!
This release is nothing but a cash grab for their record company and it doesn't even feature all of their hits. If you're going to buy a greatest hits package by The Bangles, buy their 1990 release "Greatest Hits". Avoid this!.


Great Band!
These girls have real talent. Despite the negative reviews on this page I think it is great Its not bubblegum music but it is youthful and full of energy. My favourites are 'Live','Walk Like an Egyptian','September Girls' and especially 'James'.
