told ye Ocean Rain was pish - http://thequietus.com/articles/07092-ec ... drunk-live
Funny that, back in't day I was at art school away from home and shared a flat with a (reet bloody) Yorksheer m'n, returning from Christmas hols one year (1980/81) he'd bought Crocdiles and I'd bought Kilimanjaro. I went on to become a bigger fan of EatB than TX as Wilder let me down. 'Everybody Wants to Shag' is a far better ellpee IMO. For me things were starting to go meringue on 'Porcupine' and when (Bill Drummond - citation needed) proclaimed 'Ocean Rain' to be "The Greatest Album Ever Made", I smelled a rat. To this day I refuse to listen to it as I get bombarded from all sides by The Killing Feckin' Moon! The Bunnymen have written albums worths of tunes waaaay better than that feckin' dirge. I'd even say eveyone of their b-sides knock it into a cocked hat, whatever the feck that is.ribbons69 wrote:They actually played a festival near me t'other week,The Headstock Festival in Newstead.And when I say near me I mean about 30 minutes.On foot.Couldn't be arsed to go along of course,I was always more a fan of The Teardrop Explodes.

One day everyone will realise that Porcupine is one of the greatest albums ever. Same with the Chameleons Script of the Bridge . Actually I agree with you about Ocean Rain. Have never really been that keen on it. To be fair there's some damn fine tunes on the later albums, Dancing Horses, The Game, Rust, to name but a few.James Blast wrote:Funny that, back in't day I was at art school away from home and shared a flat with a (reet bloody) Yorksheer m'n, returning from Christmas hols one year (1980/81) he'd bought Crocdiles and I'd bought Kilimanjaro.

As is yours big man. I know the Bunnymen suck s**t these days, especially without Will and Les, but let us not forget 'on the shoulders of giants'..........James Blast wrote:thank you, your opinion is important to us
