Echo and The Bunnymen
Discussion
So.
I picked up 'Killing Moon: The Best Of..' the other day as it was a fiver and people always refer to this band in reviews of one of my favourite bands (British Sea Power) and also I know bits of their history reading '45' by Bill Drummond.
Well?
Excellent! Yet another 'old' band before my time who are great.
So where do I go from here? I like reading books about bands and also which albums should I persue next?
Crocodile is my favourite track so far

I used to love The Bunnymen when I was younger, went to see them in the mid 80's. Superb.
My personal favourite albums are Crocodiles and Heaven up Here. Ocean Rain
is great also, though a bit different in style to the early stuff.
If you like these then you should get a copy of Kilimanjaro by The Teardrop Explodes. These were also managed by Bill Drummond. I've read 45 too, it's a good book. Have you read the books he wrote with Mark Manning (Zed from Zodiac Mindwarp)? Very Strange!

45 was my introduction to Bill Drummonds world and have not read any of his other books apart from How To Have A Number One The Easy Way. He seems like one of lifes characters certainly!My personal favourite albums are Crocodiles and Heaven up Here. Ocean Rain

Am ideally after a decent book on the Bunnymen but can't find much on the usual webshops...
Teardrop Explodes - will look into that next thanks
Any more recommendations for further pleasure keep it clean!
Bought thier first single, Pictures on my Wall when it came out
I always found them best for singles, like Rescue, A Promise, The Cutter, so the album Songs to Learn and Sing would go down well.
If you like them and A Teardrop Explodes, try Wah! and Wah Heat!, Big in Japan, Those Naughty Lumps etc. There was a compilation CD from the Liverpool scene I saw recently - called The Zoo I think.
Or you may be of the other persuasion and like bombastic rock like U2.

Yes, I loved Bad Wisdom/Wild Highway. They're meant to be part of a trilogy though I don't know if or when the third book will be published. Manning's "
ed by rock" is a great read too.
As for 80's recommendations put New Order's Substance on the list, this is probably one of the best "greatest hits" albums ever.
