I suffer from mad fanboy syndrome.
Spent more time on Youtube searching out her old live performances and other content than any other but JoJo. .
I suffer from mad fanboy syndrome.sacred? LOL.
I've been a fan of the music and never spent much time watching videos or looking at album covers. Perhaps you should calibrate your sarcasm meter, but I was responding to a thread on a woman's looks at gonadtech. I'll never reply to one of those without sarcasm about the shallower end of the pool.
How do you mean? There's been quite a few all girl pop-punk bands since the Go-Gos.Being female, being perceived as "selling out to pop", and singing about less weighty subjects like relationships or a vacation are the three triggers to disrespect from "critics" and the "serious music" segment of the populace(and it appears some rock fans have become "serious music" snobs).
Given there hasn't been another group like them...it's evident the uphill road still exists. Although, it doesn't help that they couldn't stick together due to the individuals in the band basically preying on each other...unlike some male bands where they could stick together even with no personal affinity for the longest time(like the The Who).

joke's on you bud, i look like shit in both.Ok.... lets compare pics of you when you were in your early 20's to now.
Sound like a plan?
Aha. Topping the charts has been increasingly less relevant over the decades, it's mostly full of fucking garbage at this point.One that has had something top the charts while writing their own songs and playing their own instruments.
Their success was barely possible...thanks to IRS Records willing to take a chance on them.

Can't say it was irrelevant back in the 80s when they broke out, and communication was far more restricted to then brand new MTV and word-of-mouth.Aha. Topping the charts has been increasingly less relevant over the decades, it's mostly full of fucking garbage at this point.
Somebody above mentioned Hoffs was in the same group. She wasn't.
The first group that came to mind when I saw this thread was the Bangles, which Carlisle wasn't in.
I looked up the two and I don't recognize a single track from the GoGos, while instantly recalling several Bangles tracks including Manic Monday and the Egyptian thing.
So, despite the hype, who made a bigger impression?
I prefer the Bangles music to that of the Gogos but both are good. The Bangles first EP is, IMHO, one of the best pop recordings ever.I actually saw the Bangles live many many (MANY!) years ago in a large nightclub-type place and they were pretty damn good (and sexy!) live which to me is the true measure of musical talent.
Gogos by a long shot. The bangle were garbage and manic monday was written by Prince. At least the gogos wrote most of their songs. The bangles wouldn't exist without the gogos.Somebody above mentioned Hoffs was in the same group. She wasn't.

Can you recall male or female at least...soloist or band?No doubt that Belinda Carlisle was the difference between these bands and the Go-Go's were better as a result however the Bangles were also very talented.
The show I went to with my buddy in LA back in the day had the Bangles as a warm-up band and they ended up being better then the main acts.
I was very surprised at the time... also I'm trying to recall who the main act was ROTFL but no luck yet.
You don't recognize We Got the Beat, Vacation, or Our Lips Are Sealed?Somebody above mentioned Hoffs was in the same group. She wasn't.

Bangles were Beatles fans. Beatles were already "old" by then.

Never heard the GoGos take on Our Lips Are Sealed till a few years ago. I like to think the contrast with the Fun Boy Three version (the one I knew at the time) sums up the difference between the US and UK.
