For me the best band to come out of the 80s. Their debut album Crocodiles is almost punkesque, and still stands up today. Try the songs crocodiles and Villers terrace from that. Then they got big and songs like the cutter and back of love put them into the big time. Ocean Rain is a wondefrul album, if a little over produced. The songs Ocean rain, Silver and seven seas also worth a listen. They have also had some more recent albums out and have some hidden gems on them.
Love, love, love this. The poster of the Songs to Learn & Sing compilation was on my wall when I was at Uni.
The Killing Moon is their genuine magnum opus but it’s all great
Heaven Up Here by Echo & The Bunnymen from 1981 is one of my all-time favorite albums. This is nice mid 80's Bunnymen 🐇. Solid vocal.
Agree 100% - Best album, and my favorite song.
Great song great live music play and done prefect
" Echo " is the name of the drum machine the Bunnymen used on their early singles before finding a proper drummer 🥁 the great & late Pete De Frietas. Over The Wall my favorite track by them.
My favorite song as well!
Their first 4 albums are spectacular (Crocodiles, Heaven up here, Porcupine & Ocean Rain). You should give The Cutter or The Killing moon a spin!
Early years are best,up to and including this.Killing Moon,The Cutter,A Promise and Breaking the Back of Love are classics.
A lot of the Bunnymen songs had strange lyrics classic alternative but they had a great lively sound .
Great band, 'Echo and The Bunnymen' this is one of their weakest tracks in my opinion.
Tracks which I recommend by them are:
"Killing Moon",
"Over The Wall",
"Pictures on My Wall" (The 'Zoo Records' version if possible),
"The Back of Love",
"Bedbugs and Ballyhoo",
"Do It Clean",
"Lips Like Sugar",
"The Cutter",
"Silver",
"Never Stop",
"Villiers Terrace",
"Show of Strength",
"A Promise",
"Ocean Rain",
"All That Jazz",
"Zimbo",
and of course,
"People Are Strange".
There are many more but these are good ones to continue with.
They are all so good.. Love those live covers too especially Its all over now baby blue.
Kia Ora Adam brother how are you doing? could you please rewrite that list backwards twice upside down three times and inside out once hand it in on Chris and Cynthias desk Friday morning 😊 THANK YOU
I love '....Dancing Horses' but I suspect it might have been influenced by the Stranglers 'Skin Deep' which came out a year earlier. Similar production and similar tempo.
@@terrythekittieful Yes, there is a similarity with 'Skin Deep'.
I love Echo. Their earlier stuff is much gritter. Back in the day they were phenomenal live..even better than studio with more energy.
This was on the Pretty in Pink soundtrack. I think maybe the dancing horses are a succession of suitors. Bring on the next unsuitable contender.
Wonderful song. I would love to see you listen to The Cutter too.
The Cutter, Killing Moon and Seven Seas are other songs you would like from this band.
I saw Echo and the Bunnymen live three times back in the 1980s. I was a bit obsessed with them back then. They were a superb live band. In my opinion, Pete de Freitas was one of the most expressive drummers of that era and Will Seargent's guitar work is simply mesmerising.
My favourite tunes are:
Killing Moon
Back of Love
Ocean Rain
The Cutter
Over the Wall (I was in Berlin in 1988)
Bed Bugs and Ballyhoo
Although not necessarily in that order
And "A Show of Strength"
Simple Minds do a cover of this on their Neon Lights album. For Echo i'd recommend The Cutter, Killing Moon and Seven Seas. A-ha did a cover of Killing Moon which featured Ian McCulloch of E&TB on their Summer Solstice Unplugged which is worth checking out also.
It’s all over now Baby Blue
They did a fantastic cover
Great choice!
I grew up with their music!
M,55,🇩🇪!
Still have early vinyls !
Try the PORCUPINE Album .
Never forget,it was the late 80s.
Video-Computer animated Videos were expensive if available for those bands then!🫶🏻
Thanx
Love this one... you don't know what it's about lol.. I suggest thorn of crowns by them as it is the only song in history which mentions cauliflowers oh and it jolly good also😂
I know another song that has cauliflower mentioned in it but for the life of me I can’t quite grasp it. Prepare yourself for a reply in the future. 1, 2 or even 3 years time, I know this is going to bug me now.
Yay! Okay, I’ve remembered. The song is called Slow Crash by 32Crash. I’ve always thought the he sings something about cauliflower mash (presumably part of his Atkins diet), but I do concede that it could be an epic case of a misheard lyric fail that Peter Kay would be proud of.
@@skolex33 I salute you!...I googled the song and the lyrics and it is indeed cauliflower mash. You live and learn.
love this band up to when they split in 88, After that nah it all went bland. Wil Sergeant's guitar is great on this
Killing Moon is one of my favourite songs from my early teenage years ❤
Could be a good idea for an episode. Who uses the word cauliflower better, Echo and The Bunnymen or 32 Crash ? I’d tune in for that.
Jimmy Brown is an earlier version of Bring on the Dancing Horses. I always thought it was a demo version and I love demo versions. Both are excellent though
I sing this song on the karaoke , they are a legendary alternative band in the 80's and 90's from Liverpool, and in America alternative bands were mainly ignored in the U.S., and Canada follows the U.S. , so this is why North Americans missed out , i think North American people like bands like the Bunnymen but the record companies had other ideas .
Nice song. The Bunnymen are good at layers of instruments (as were the Waterboys around this time). But i do think the drum machine has always let them down slightly. May i suggest one of their peers - Julian Cope with Trampolene or World Shut Your Mouth? Added bonus - real drums.
I liked the video for World Shut Your Mouth, with Julian's extended mic stand!
This was on the Pretty in Pink soundtrack! Thank you, this is my favorite Echo and the Bunnymen song
Then, we must have heard it before. We love that movie.
Villiers Terrace and The Killing Moon
Great band. Love Ian's voice.
Echo and the Bunnymen easily my favourite band of the 80s
Elements of surrealism in the lyrics as well as the videos..
"Villiers Terrace "
"The Cutter" "Silver" "Back of Love"
The Whole " Ocean Rain" Album
"Rust" "Lips Like Sugar" "Nothing Ever Lasts Forever"
My take on this is the names at the beginning are of servicemen lost in the war (probably sailors.. The band is from Liverpool ) Water and The sea are recuŕring themes for Ian McCullough (Lead singer and songwriter) Also relationships and introspection.
They do fun stuff too though "The Game" is about football (soccer)
As with all good poetry/lyrics multiple meaning can be at play
This song is sort of cynically anti war and bad politicians but also about trust in a failing relationship.
Les Pattinson’s most wondrous moment?
I'd vote 🗳 for Show Of Strength 💪
Not my bag ! How ever one of the Album Covers is a Photo of a Silver Mine .
Which happens to be in Cornwall . Thats about the level of interest this Band does for me imo .Of course . Without Prejudice , or Mischief .
THE best Liverpool band.
Their late 1990's comeback album 'Evergreen' is a gem of an album. 'Altamont', ''Just a Touch Away', Too Young to Kneel' and the title song all great tracks. Worth investigating but as Nick down below pointed out 'The Killing Moon' is their magnificent octopus,...an outright classic.
I been a fan since 82
The dancing horses, "headless and all alone," are statues. In a Songfacts interview with lead singer Ian McCulloch, he explained: "It's about the way people would sooner look at statues than themselves. We revere things that tell us about ourselves. It's that thing of how we think art is very important. A life without art, who knows what that would be like? We think the Mona Lisa is this thing that's valuable, when something else isn't."
Reaction to Cressida - Munich
Another great Liverpool band from the 80s is OMD
From a wider view, Dancing Horses is more of a reflection of widespread societal breakdown.
First again 😅
👍🏴
Well done Brother Jay 👏👏👏 gold medal 🥇👏👏👏 don't let ya Gard down I'll beat you eventually.
On another note thank you whoever requested this i haven't heard this since my early teens the bunny men are haunting.man I've got to have a listen to some more this is awesome so much great music from the past gets forgotten while trunching through life and then someone requests a song and old memories flood back i LOVE IT 😍
@@heathcornbeef yup , only music has the power to transport you right back to a certain time n day 👌
👍🏴
@@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering I'd add smells can transport you back in time to kitchen/classroom 💩🙊🙉🙈 anywhere
I've always had an echo i think it's the half life of my voice trying to annoy people or is it just me repeating myself 😮?
Sorry !Did not catch that ! Can you say again please !
Hello hello hello I've always had an echo i think it's the half life of my voice trying to annoy people or is it just me repeating myself 😮?.
@@ghichens3418 hello hello hello I've always had an echo i think it's the half life of my voice trying to annoy people or is it just me repeating myself 😮?
They were a decent band in their day and my fav of theirs is “ The Killing Moon “.. but THIS track I’ve always hated with a passion , I always thought it was weak and without any passion .. but that’s just my opinion . 🤷♂️
👍🏴
I agree, Jay, just about their weakest song. They have some good ones though.
@@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis. 💯 agreed Adam ✊..
👍🏴
You are truly a great man Jay your honesty totally up front no pissing around 👏👏👏 it's great being around people who don't muck around with iceing just give it straight it's also a lot of fun
@@heathcornbeef cheers Heath , I do always try though to make it clear that it’s only MY opinion or reality , of course we are all different and we have varying tastes and ways of looking at things , it’s never personal with me 👀
👍🏴
@@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering yeah nah I've noticed you go for the ball not the man 👍✌️👏👏👏
I was never a fan and never understood what was going on.
One of my teachers at school was into them before they were famous.
That figures ! Naffin Teachers !
@@ghichens3418 Yep, he wasn't great as a teacher. One of those who had his little favourites and the others were ignored.
@hanierfamily Hi Guys, Can l run a song by you to see if you know it
Going down to Liverpool by The Bangles
Yes we know it, but we can do it on a Wednesday maybe because we saw that it was also done by Katrina And The Waves.
@@hanierfamily Sounds good to me
I have a couple of more "Who did it betters" for you
1. The song is called : He's Gonna Step on You Again by John Kongos which was released in 1971
It was covered by The Happy Mondays in 1990 but had a name change to just "Step on" but its the same song
2. The song is called : Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven When You Smile) by Van Morrison which was released in 1972
It was covered by Dexys Midnight Runners in 1982
check them out if you have time
I never came to terms with the jangly guitars and pop melodies of the Indie brigade, and that hasn't really changed over time. These were just one of many bands who existed on the fringes of my awareness but never did anything to really catch my attention.
"These were just one of the many bands that existed on the fringes of my awareness."
If they were so peripheral to your existence, why do you feel compelled to mention the fact some forty years later?
@@PhilipModest Why is that your problem?
It's not really a problem for me, personally, at all. It is an interesting psychological conundrum, though.
@@PhilipModest That's alright then. I'll leave you to ponder on it.
Thank you, but it was actually a rhetorical question.
The only song I like by them. The rest is usually self-satisfied and smug.
Sorry... Comment meant for another song
😂😂😂😂@@DogInSpace
🤤 I’ve done that a few times DIS .. 😆
👍🏴
@@jaymacgee_A_Bawbag_Blethering It's maddening, because I was commenting on Australian Crawl's ''Reckless'' on another channel. Back in the day, Oz Crawl were the enemy of punk for reasons described above, but ''Reckless'' was out of field and unexpected. This Echo/Bunnymen song has never done a thing for me. I had all their albums, and had seen them live in the 80's.
@@DogInSpace as soon as I seen which track it was from the Bunnymen I genuinely groaned out loud .. so many great tracks to choose from that the Haniers hadn’t heard of and THIS was chosen ?..😳.. sigh
👍🏴
It's about Horse Buggary
Lol😂😂😂..waiting for the delete!
Thats why I dont listen to this ! Bad memories !lol
I was a fan of their music up until THIS song. Their best years were from around 79 - 85. The song is probably meaningless.
You dont have to understand what it means if the mood makes you feel something……many of the greatest artists songs make no sense
The Killing Moon or the Cutter are great tracks but this is a snorefest, its not for me.
I love this song for 40 years and have no idea what it is about. Un-subscribing due to a lack-luster review.
Great band and terrible song. This was an awful song and they were far better than this
✊
