most hated Bunnymen song

[Frank The Bunny]

so, I was searching for the perfect shitty Bunnymen video to post to this thread, when I noticed YouTube themselves had gotten all editorial and smart-assy about the Bunnymen. Click the image and check out the "Related Videos":

Couldn't find that specific video, but this person's comment made me throw up a little.

"Siberia was the best album Ian's done since Evergreen. And to me they all are equals, Ocean Rain, Porcupine, Mysterio, Burned, Candleland... I once snatched a half-drunk Heineken from the stage when Ian exited. Maybe a molecule of him is still wandering around in my body somewhere. Oh and after the set I met him backstage and he was absurdly nice enough to sign about 20 vinyl lp covers for me and chat even though there was a long line behind me. God Bless you Ian."

Somebody called Candleman. Bet he's on the BOF.

I think you missed the point of my post. It wasn't about the video.

It was just the "smoking too much" comment.

It was just the "smoking too much" comment.

Yes. Sort of. It was that YouTube, amidst all the "related" Bunnymen videos had selected a clip entitled "Been Smoking Too Long", which I took as YouTube's official commentary on the band's suck-cess. Isn't humor so much funnier when you have to dissect it? I think it is.

Oh, and I bet you a dollar it was KoK.

No- all the words were spelled right.

Some of the comments at the bottom of the Youtube videos are just ridiculous though. This one for example. WTF

If only "Empire State Halo" had been a single... My vote for the Worst Official Video for a Bunnymen song:

Agree with that. Awful video, song not much better. Worse single than Think I Need it Too?

[In The Margins]

I'll Fly Tonight

Just A Touch Away

Life Goes On

Baby Rain

Another awful video - Stormy Weather.

I forgot about Parthenon Drive - to be filed under "watching paint dry type, boring songs". Who wants to know about a road that Mac lived in Liverpool anyway. Means nothing to anyone outside Liverpool.

Depends on how it's handled. See: Lane, Penny.

I wish I'd been a rock star. I could've written a song about one of the streets I lived on as a child!

Which title has a better ring to it?

"Two Hundred Thirty-Seventh Place Southwest"
or
"Northeast One Hundred Eighty-Eighth Street"

I am stunned that a Bunnymen fan would put My Kingdom or My White Devil on a "worst" list.

I'm not a Bunnymen fan. I am on your forum, aren't I?

In the words of my dear former arch-nemesis, Turgut Koyman, "You are not true Bunnymen fan. I am only true Bunnymen fan. Fuck you from your ass"
