I still think along with the cure there great, but not what they were, but miles better than coldpaly and radiohead and all the othere trendy crap.
They bunnymen to me were best when they were primevil and mythical. Cyrptic and aloof. Majestic and god like.
Today they are a pleasent reminder of simpler days, long hot summers, magical mystry tours, beer, drugs and girls, sleeping on platforms, hitchicking, funnyhaicuts and long coats.
They can still hit the spot on good nights where Ican escape the pressures of being a middle age git for a couple of hours.
bands just don't have no substance today.
I agree that "bands just don't have no substance today" although I can't seem to put my finger on it and find what the reason is why they don't
There's SO MANY new bands out there but there were a lot in the 60's 70's + 80's too. It just seemed during those decades each one had their own distinct personality or aura.
I just noticed on the other forum that the Bunnymen won # 1 spot in a Rolling Stone poll for best 80's new wave group with New Order coming in 2nd and 8 other groups below them. It's about time!
Listening to Bunnymen albums took you places in your mind and each album had a story behind it. Today every new band recording seems to have no story of interest behind it and all the artists seem dull and boring.
Speaking of a band that took you places in your mind, did you hear that Roger Water's pig escaped from the Coachella festival and there's a $10,000.00!!!! reward for anyone who finds it!? Keep looking up. It's as big as a school bus
