      They might have suspected something was different when grandma did not tell them to "TURN THAT NOISE DOWN!" Maybe, when grandpa --what a lucky man they are!-- couldn't keep his hands off grandma --and those times that grandma couldn't keep her hands off grandpa either!-- and the chandeliers rocked to the beat! Having been accused of making too much noise and of watching some music videos at an ear splitting volume, the fortunate child that gets to play drums with abandon and encouragement has it made! Rob Reiner has spoken about how his children couldn't connect Michael Stivik with him; undoubtedly, a chorus of NAH! had to be silenced by a riff or two for the same reason.

      music went to shit in the 90's, imo. personally, i'd say the 70's was the best decade for music, next the 60's, then the 80's. i mean, if i'm being objective and honest. i'm an 80's brat for sure, but despite it having some of my favorite music, that's when it began to fall apart. rock lost the script, country i think began to lose its soul, and it began the era of pop music written by like two guys who wound up creating a literal music factory resulting in everything sounding the same. i never did like rap, but at least it was new, it amazes my how dumb it's become.

      Journey wasn't for a long time either. The documentary will probably generate enough fan support the Hall of Fame will be shamed into putting them in.
      I remember when Pearl Jam was inducted in 2017, and their lead singer essentially said we aren't worthy of being here along side all of these groups that have been playing for 4, 5 decades.

      True that... but *"The Runaways"* never really achieved the mainstream success that *"The Go-Gos"* did.
      Not that chart success or monetary gain are the only - or the most important - measures of a band's significance or impact. Truly there'd probably have been no Go-Gos were it not for the trailblazing Runaways... but as far as the OP's statement *"the first and only all female band who wrote and played their music to top the billboard charts",* that does indeed describe the Go-Gos...

      @@jeffharder8706 Jeff first of all we ALL know that Belinda Carlise sounds awful live. And their is know way they recorded their parts at the same time. Their is ALWAYS a delay. You mean to tell me the whole band could play IN TIME without even seeing each other? LOL LOL LOL YOU ARE SO NAIVE

      LANY 2017 Lany, buddy, first off, if you’re gonna try and bash someone, check your use of words (“their is know way”). Congrats you used two words correctly. Secondly, where in my reply did I say the band did this in one shot? All at once? I didn’t. Still it doesn’t negate the fact that the band couldn’t do a “live” show in this style. I know exactly how this was done. My friends are in a band (Far as Hell) and they would do the same types of videos. They told me how it’s done.

    Jane Wiedlin is amazing. Her background voice helped sell these songs.
    Just a great singer/ songwriter.

      I love her solo stuff too, Rush Hour, World On Fire, Cool Places, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Blue Kiss, Where We Can Go, My Travelling Heart, Lovers Night, Die Now Pay Later are some of my favourites.

      @@gatekeeperboxing5898 Agreed. Belinda Carlisle was a toxic untalented hanger-on who contributed to the band breaking up because of her petty jealousy of the audiences paying more attention to Jane than her.

    I had tickets to the San Diego show that got canceled this month so I was tooling around on their channel and saw this. I was smiling and bobbing my head the whole time. They sound and look amazing. God bless The Go-Go’s!
