Read this piece just prior to hearing of Eric Carmen's death over the weekend. So sad...

"Hero Takes A Fall"—mmmmwaaa! It's one of the most egregiously overlooked songs, in my opinion. For me, that is The Bangles. The more popular stuff is okay(ish), but this? Perfection. When I saw it was the same year as the Mats '"I Will Dare," I started thinking how great it would be to hear Susanna Hoffs sing some Westerberg tunes. That should happen.

I don't know much of The Raspberries beyond the obvious and had never heard of Farrah. The Bangles still sound so great and Sloan is evergreen.
