Also had them start recording songs from other songwriters for the first time. But the sisters got in one of their own with "Barracuda". It was pointedly about their manager. (Also one of the greatest guitar riffs of all time, imo.)


Yeah but Barracuda, which is a good song imo, was written in 1977. Well before their downfall during the 80's.
