The Go-Go's - Greatest Hits - [CD]
Couldn't load pickup availability
Go Go's Cute and perky, the Go-Go's bounced on the scene with "We Got the Beat" as if they were leading a new wave pep rally. As Greatest Hits documents, their energy was at its peak with their debut album, especially on its other hit, "Our Lips Are Sealed." Later hits like "Vacation" and "Head Over Heels" could still get 'em out on the dance floor, but also characterized a bit of a mood swing for the band. Troubled by their quick rise to fame, the Go-Go's couldn't sustain the pace because of pressures outside and within their band's structure (the subject of "Head Over Heels"). Regardless, Greatest Hits can manage to evoke more than just nostalgia with "This Town," "Lust to Love," and "Cool Jerk." --Steve Gdula
