Love for the Fountain...getting airplay at least once in LA

[fat cherry]

The Killing Moon was my introduction to the band. Changed my life. The Lost Boys soundtrack and the Grey album not so much.

thats pretty much what I meant, you lot, but 99.99% of americans would have only have heard them through a couple of films and the odd 80s college station. I mean they haven't ever really bothered the charts much have they?

The percentage was a bit higher depending on where you were. Their main thing was album sales, not singles. But they were in heavy rotation in So Cal.

I don't remember when I first heard of the Bunnymen. That's too far back in time! But I'd hazard a guess it was some combo of a) friends, b) college radio, c) MTV and/or d) music press.

Most people I come across are familiar with the Bunnymen because of the prominent role The Killing Moon played in Donnie Darko.

But yeah I see a lot of heads bop when Lips Like Sugar comes on.

I think the Grey album charted like number 80 - something here?

Yes, I think it was something like that. Can be looked up on Billboard.com.

There was a big spread about them and the Teardrops in Creem in 1981. Someone from Creem followed them the day of the Buxton Pavillion/Shine So Hard event. Wild, huh?

Remember Creem? We just don't have many music magazines anymore. Sad.
