Same here. I can't believe it's been 10 years since that came out, the Bunnymen have made me feel old twice!

Don't make me go to a third forum.


Count me in the elitist Porcupine clique.


I chose Porcupine.
But, I also started the Rob Zombie thread, and have the dubious distinction of dropping this forum's first F-bomb. So, there's no accounting for taste, really.

No, you're down for gore and ta-tas.

I bet Al would've won if it were a Gore and Ta-tas ticket

Gore & Ta-tas vs. Bush &... well, wait a minute. Bush is Bush

Bush vs. Ta-tas - now that's my kind of race.
And a hard decision, all things considered.
But then, some Bush is better than other Bush, I suppose.

HUH is my fav for early stuff and it is fantastic but it was Evergreen that made me a true fan for evermore. Back on the official site I was told that I was the only one who would choose Evergreen. :roll:


I LOVE Evergreen! it's just not my favourite.


Evergreen is my favorite as a whole. I realized that on the favorite song thread I didn't list any Evergreen songs! I guess that is because I have mainly been listening to live recordings lately and as individual songs, those are my favorites. Evergreen is my favorite album for sentimental reasons. It makes me so happy. :D

Burned should probably be a choice. (The Bunnymen by another name...) I rank Burned above Evergreen.

True but I also didn't include Reverberation either and some could argue that WAYGTDWYL shouldn't be on there. I just stuck to what the general public considers a Bunnymen album.

Burned is far superior to all of the last four.

I'm suprised Crocodiles didnt get more votes (not that I voted for it either like)
Mr. Brian, I find that offensive.

Scouser's inability to se others' point of view is rather grating.

I had to throw my vote in for the self-titled album. The Game is a fantastic song, as are New Direction, All in your Mind , Bomber's Bay, and Lips Like Sugar. All my Life is such a beautiful song. For my favorite album i would declare it a tie between the self-titled and Porcupine, with Ocean Rain as a close second.

I need to give Evergreen another listen it seems...

It has to be Ocean Rain. I go through stages of my favourite Bunnymen albums until I have played them to death and had enough (temporarily). Ocean Rain is such a fantastic album. Everything is on there. Great singing from Mac demonstrating the wide vocal ability he had back then, a variety of instruments, not just the standard electric guitars, bass , drums and keyboards. Will's solos come to the fore more than anything they'd done before and pretty much set the sound for future Bunnymen albums.

As for Evergreen, not my favourite of the current crop of albums (Siberia is), but towards the end of that album (after Baseball Bill) is as good as anything they had done before.

If you're an American, you've had 7 years of Bush AND Dick


I would never be able to decide btwn Crocodiles, Porcupine and HUH.
