A very important honorable mention!
Over Your Shoulder

There is a song that should be added to the live set.

Pretty much. Double honorable mention: Porcupine album.

I forgot a few other ones

- Villiers Terrace

- Monkeys

- Bring On The Dancing Horses

- Happy Death Men (?), I don't know if it's up there but it's a pretty cool song. Weird lyrics.

I also agree with Over Your Shoulder.

The Bunnymen have some awesome B-sides, IMO. In a lot of cases they're better than the album tracks.

This is a tougher one than the worst song thread because the answer can depend on the mood I'm in but these are all songs that come to mind that I never skip if my iPod is on shuffle:

Killing Moon
My Kingdom
Show of Strength
Ocean Rain (a good live recording especially)
Stars Are Stars

I'd third that on Stars Are Stars. Also Zimbo and Angels and Devils.

Has anyone said The Killing Moon yet?

All Night version of course. Fucking 10 minutes of the Killing Moon is about as awesome as it gets.

I think I'm one of the few Bunnymen fans that doesn't really like Over The Wall that much. Parts of the song are really cool, like the guitar when Mac's singing "I can't sleep at night", but most of the song is just boring, to me at least. The lyrics are cool, though.
