America is awesome. The best. And nothing is more American than The Shangri-La's. Listening to them is like crashing in on Marty's sleepover in Grease. It's all about falling in love with bikers and sticking it to your square parents. This two-sets-of-sisters gang hail from the all-for-nothing days of dreamy '60s pop where everything sounded like Pet Sounds with a bit'o'motown. "Leader Of The Pack" and "Remeber (Walking In The Sand)" obviously deserve their place in the pop canon, but the quartet wasn't always shitsandgiggles (remember... Mary Weiss was packing heat while on the tour beat). Their epic "I Can Never Go Home Anymore" is a bummer of a cautionary tale about prideful Harley-chasers. It's also crazy-awesome and should've charted higher than it did. Oh well, what're you gonna do? How about you consider this compilation!
