Hazy Shade of Winter – The Bangles

Description:

The Bangles’ rendition of “Hazy Shade of Winter” transformed the Simon & Garfunkel classic into a driving rock anthem, becoming a major hit after its inclusion on the Less Than Zero soundtrack in 1987. Powered by Debbi Peterson’s energetic drumming, the song surged into the Billboard Top 10 and remains one of the band’s most recognizable recordings. Peterson’s performance brings urgency and momentum to every section, perfectly complementing the song’s rapid-fire vocals and soaring guitars. For drummers, it’s an exciting study in endurance, consistency, and maintaining intensity while navigating a fast-paced arrangement.
