2. I don't think either The Bangles or The Go-Go's qualify as guilty pleasures. What's more Susanna Hoffs has done some excellent work recently with Matthew Sweet. They have an album called Under the Covers, Vol. 1 with some nice takes on Neil Young and The Who, among others. I'd wager she'll be sitting in with Matthew Sweet for at least his LA tour date next week. She's got one of the most underappreciated female voices in rock/pop music.
Belinda Carlisle actually put out a well-received French-language album (titled Voila) last year. In fairness to those shoppers who might want to click the Amazon link (is there an Amazon link on here now?) it seems pretty clear that Ms. Carlisle's Playboy photos (taken when she was 42!) were more well-received than her new album.
