And the greatest Bunnymen song ever

by **black francis** » Wed Oct 19, 2011 2:28 pm

The first time I heard The Killing Moon it changed my life. The first time I heard the All Night version I had my one and only religious experience.

If we're being honest with each other here I really, really like "Life of 1000 Crimes".

But after The Killing Moon I like:

Heads Will Roll
Clay
Porcupine
My White Devil
Simple Stuff
Villiers Terrace (Early Version)
No Dark Things
Going Up
Avalanche
All Because of You Days

It varies, but Zimbo, Show of Strength and With a Hip is definitely three of them. And November...and In the Margins...

I just heard Angels and Devils the other day. Took me by complete surprise in the car. I had to crank it up, and by golly if it isn't as crackin' a tune as when I first heard it all those years ago. Fine quality stuff!

Over the Wall should NEVER be missing from a Bunnymen's best list, Perhaps it's not, I'm just too lazy to read back through all those pages ...

I haven't been taken by surprise in a car for a long while. :wink:

I'll see what I can do Billy.

Empire State Halo. If we are are going to choose anything after 1989. That is the only song I like they have put out since then.
