Echo and the Bunnymen is definitely one of the most underrated bands of the 80’s…right up there with Chameleons, Abecedarians, Comsat Angels, Eight Seconds and others.
Let me share another great Bunnymen song:

Great selection, as always. I really enjoy your blog, and have linked to you.
On a pedantic note, “Because The Night” belongs in the ’70s (1977/78 I think).

Yep, your right, Because the Night does belong in the 70’s. I generally don’t do a lot of stuff from the 70’s, except my punk posts, but I thought it kind of belonged on the list, if for no other reason than it’s a great song, considering that Springsteen wrote it.
But you’re right, it was 1978. Good god, I still remember listening to it on the radio, like it was yesterday. Now that REALLY makes me feel old!

Miss Parker, great taste in tunes, as always. Sorry for the long delay in replying to comments. It’s been…an interesting…couple of days.
Echo and the Bunnymen are amazing, and the Chameleons, Abecedarians, Comsat Angels, Eight Seconds…you totally just blew me away. I swear, it’s been years since I heard some one mention Comsat Angels. I’ve even forgotten about most of those bands! Thanks for the reminder…I smell the start of a really great post!
