When the @officialgogos formed in 1978, the concept of an all-female band that played their own instruments and didn’t have their hits crafted by a team of songwriters was still novel. Then the band's debut album Beauty and the Beat dropped during the summer of 1981, mere weeks before MTV launched with the now-iconic video of the moon landing. The band stopped playing smoky clubs and began selling out arenas on a tour that doubled as a global victory lap around their critics–of which there were plenty. The hits came back-to-back as the Go-Go’s ponied and Watusied their way to #1 on the charts, where the album stayed for six weeks.
