The Bangles first came together in the year 1981. As AllMusic explains, both Debbi Peterson and Vicki Peterson officially joined the band after responding to Susanna Hoffs’s advertisement looking for bandmates. CBS Records eventually signed a contract with the band, and Michael Steele, who was a member of the famous punk band the Runaways, eventually joined the outfit in 1983. “All Over the Place” was their first major album, which was released in 1984. They would soon drop another album, “Different Light,” in 1986, which contained their most iconic and well-known song, “Walk Like an Egyptian.”

“Manic Monday,” another big hit from the band, was actually written by pop megastar Prince, only under his pseudonym Christopher. As IMDb says, the band’s songs have been featured in numerous movies and shows as well, such as “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me” and “Futurama.” To this day, the band still tours around the world, performing music in both Europe and America.
