Listening to Porcupine...

General discussion about the band, live shows, its recordings or bootlegs, etc. You can buy, sell or trade here. You can even post eBay links. If it's about the Bunnymen, it goes here.

I will admit Jack T opened my eyes to Porcupine. I hate the first two tracks. Title track is GOLD.

Every song is it's own little masterpiece. Definitely at their peak, IMO.

Show of Strength
A Promise
No Dark Things

However I will confess to enjoying The Disease and Heaven Up Here from time to time.
With the Force as his ally he did battle with the Dark Lord. And he showed the measure of a true Jedi at a place called "The Death Star" where hope for the Galaxy was reborn. May all who struggle against tyranny hold his memory in their hearts

No one has mentioned "Over the Wall" from HUH....that's one of my favorites. How can you not love a song with the lyrics "but the slug on my neck won't stop chewing"?

Turquoise Days. My most favouritest of all Bunnymen songs.

If you mean nobody has mentioned since my mentioning of it yesterday, then you are correct.

I do think The Cutter and Back of Love really really suck Franny Balls.

That being said, I am now a fan of the rest and the outtakes - I denied myself the album far too long.


Next up is Ocean Rain.
Hating Silver is a tough start. Crystal Days is a bit painful in that it shows what the gray album should have been like. Thorn of Crowns good times. My Kingdom - meh -
maybe I will change my mind.



I really LOVE Crocodiles and HUH.

crystal days should have been a single instead of silver.

I think My Kingdom is the best song on OR.
