Overview:
Different Light is an album by The Bangles released in January 1986. It is their best known album, with a Top 5 hit single and a No. 1 hit. The album's Top 40 sound was a departure from their earlier 1960s-style sound. This was the first album in which bassist Michael Steele sings lead vocals on some tracks.
Three of five singles were written by someone other than The Bangles: "Manic Monday" (written by Prince under the pseudonym Christopher), "If She Knew What She Wants" and "Walk Like an Egyptian". The other two singles were "Following" and "Walking Down Your Street".
The 2008 reissue CD on the Wounded Bird Records label (WOU 4039) adds a bonus track: "Walk Like An Egyptian" (Extended Dance Mix).
Slant Magazine listed the album at #78 on its list of "Best Albums of the 1980's".

The Bangles second album Different Light had that real popular 80’s song Walk Like an Egyptian. In today’s times that song would’ve been a flop but not back in the 80s.
