Good? Bad? Go fuck yourself fag! I have to admit, 'She Bop' is a fun song.

She's not the worst of all. She has a great voice. Don't know that song nor own anything, nor know much other than Time and Girls.

I actually like her first album a lot.





I've been on the fence about picking her second one up, especially for just one song

after that her work really went downhill, IMO

I heard the first album all the way through about 7 or 8 years ago.
It was a lot better than I expected.
Off the top of my head, I remember really liking:
"Girls Just Want to Have Fun" (much better now that it's not so ubiquitous.)
" She Bop"
"Money Changes Everything"
"Time After Time" (which I've always liked)

And I remember that I wasn't offended by the rest.
Good voice.

The original versions of "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" (Robert Hazard), "Money Changes Everything" (The Brains), and "All Through The Night" (Jules Shear) are all better than Cyndi's versions, but I at least credit her for exposing some great songwriters to a larger audience.

You obviously have never heard "Escalator of Life."

And the fat-ass checks that the album's millions sold nets them.
