@@WithaJoeFro That's because you do not know the backstory to what was going on in the band and what eventually led to them breaking up. Susanna Hoffs was being "groomed" by producers as the lead, the face of the band (which, I might rightly point out, was a good decision, she is by far the most charismatic, as most will agree) - but the other band members could not accept that and that led to fracturing, posturing, and the whole "only me" syndrome that eventually broke the band up.

Susanna was so respectful and humble about doing the cover and meeting Paul Simon after it did so well on the charts. On the Bangles website, she talks about meeting Paul Simon after watching Simon & Garfunkel in concert: "We had loved Simon & Garfunkel, and naturally we also loved Paul as a solo artist, and we were really happy to see them perform and then go backstage for a meet-and-greet. This was after our version of 'Hazy Shade of Winter' had come out, and although I don't think we talked about it very much, I remember he was very sweet, and I'm sure he was happy the song had done so well. I think it's always good to have your song covered, but it was a little uncomfortable talking to him about it, because when Simon & Garfunkel did the song, it had gone to #17 (sic), and the Bangles version went to #2. You're proud, of course, but you never want to come off as full of yourself or arrogant you know?"

Possibly their best song ever. If I had to pick one that i couldn't live without it would be this one. It ranks very high on their list too. All four of them signing together makes it so unique. The blending of their voices together was always what made them so special.

This is the best version of this song but I am of the opinion that Paul Simon is a very underrated song writer.

This is in the movie "Less than Zero". I remember it well. After graduation I joined the military, my best friend went to college. He died of a drug overdose a short time later. Here's to you Patrick. Just like in the movie life doesn't go how dreamed it would.

This song came out in 1987. I was 11. I am 41 and still rocking out to it.

The definitive alternative cover version

This is a fine cover of Simon & Garfunkel's version! I've always liked Vicki Peterson's guitar part here...it really rocks! And nicest of all, it's clearly a band effort. In those days, the media was seemingly determined to put Susannah Hoffs out in front of the band, and it led to some tension in the group, although Susannah herself wasn't any more comfortable with the way the media presented them than the rest of the Bangles were. So hearing them playing this as a band is a real treat! It shows that all four of them together were more than the sum of their parts!

I mean, I can't entirely fault the media. Of the four, I think Hoffs had the best voice (@MightyWomanOfGod talks about Vicki, but Hoffs can seriously belt it out, too. See Eternal Flame) and probably the most marketable look. I see why that fed into the tensions that caused the band to split, but it's also understandable why the media and label focused on Hoffs in the first place.
