What Was Your Bunnymen Gateway Album?

by **Dr Cheese** » Tue May 12, 2009 5:10 am

I'd actually been sporadically listening to the Bunnymen for a while before I bought any albums (remember kids, home taping is killing music) but seeing them do Back Of Love on TOTP spurred me into action and I went out and bought Porcupine followed up a week later by Crocodiles and then HUH. I remember buying Crocodiles from WH Smith and on the way out I bumped into one of my mates who, after examining my purchase, demanded to know "why have you bought that crap, it's a load of shite" before snorting with derision and walking off.

Max poll option were set to 10. I increased this and added STLAS.

The entire reason I chose HUH at the time was because of the four albums and couple eps in the bin, I though it had the coolest cover.

Someone played HUH for me around 1985 before STLAS was released and that made me a fan. As I recall, two friends of mine went to England for a summer and brought back all this new music and that was one of the albums.

songs to learn and sing was the first bunnymen album i owned, but what really got me into them (and caused me to buy all of their back catalog) was seeing them live for the first time in 2005 – on the Siberia tour.

yes, I heard Siberia before hearing Heaven Up Here or Crocodiles, strange, i know.... :lol:

In her defense Jack she did run with it. I mean stalking Will, painting erotic nudes of Will and giving them to him? I say Blinkilite is cool.

Did I say that was you? I meant I had stalked Will and painted erotic nudes. My bad.

You're still cool though.
