Now Steve has to get lost for 19 years.
And this song is a prime example of 80s excess. Stop shouting at me!

Guess what? Abba and the Bee-Gees just went through a "revival" of popularity. I don't know whether you had an afro or not, but they were "hip" again for all those kids out there that did not have to live through the real seventies. For those of us alive in the 70s, we had enough of afros and bell bottoms to last a lifetime.

more Echo!

Thank God your friend Steve is wrong or In 1997 I would have had a huge afro, bell-bottoms and giant collared shirt unbuttoned to show my chest-hair and giant gold medallion as I was swinging to the groovy sounds of Abba and the Bee-Gees.

MAKE IT STOP!

Is this how Steve would explain U2's new album?

I really like EATBM but this song was them "jumping the shark" for me.

It's 80's flashback weekend? You have to warn us so we can all post our big hair pics (or the fact that we had hair, myself included)!!!!!!!!

This song is SOOOO politically incorrect now as it promotes an unhealthy lifestyle.

Eighties era electro-post-punk-pop is way back in style. Every band I saw the other week in Chapel Hill was bringing that style back in some way. And then we were treated to The Caterpillars, the best Cure cover band ever. It included members of Fashion Design (fashiondesignband.com), which has been known to mix some covers of The Church and old-skool U2 into their orignal sets.

College memories for me too, but I remember both songs with fondness, especially this one. One of my feminist friends (we were at a Liberal Arts school, afterall...) insisted upon calling this band "Echo & the Bunnypeople". Perhaps this was her version of self parody?

Yeah, I'm having 8th grade flashbacks. But it's lightened up my mood at work considerably, so I'm not complaining.

Cripes, two songs ago it was Depeche Mode, now Echo and Bunnymen....

...what is this? Someone trying bring back all of my bad college memories?????

Then you probably do not take time to rate/look_at songs that I like. I think I'm pretty much in balance in (initial) possitive and negative comments. Of course that leads to more postings in tracks I do not like because it seems people enjoy personal attacks on negative comments, and I like to react on that

Look in what I like:
50 Andreas Vollenweider
50 Air
50 Dire Straits
50 Hevia
50 Ian Anderson
50 Jethro Tull
50 the Lash
50 Mark Knopfler
50 Natalie Merchant
50 Neil Young
50 Ozric Tentacles
50 Urban Trad
50 Zero 7
65 Asia
65 Camel
65 Chris Rea
65 Dire Straits
65 Kate Bush
65 Loreena McKennitt
65 Mary Black
65 Peter Gabriel
65 Philip Glass
65 Pink Floyd
65 Roger Waters
65 Roger Waters/Sinead O'Connor
65 Rush
65 Sinead O'Connor
65 Solas
65 Supertramp
65 UK
65 Vienna Teng

But there's much more where I put possitive comments!

Other than a Pink Floyd tune, I'm still waiting to hear a positive comment from you, Tux. And, for what it's worth, I would put Talk Talk clearly behind Echo on the overall band scale.

This tune epitomizes what was good at the time in music. Good stuff!

I am 15 again and all is awkward with the world. Good tunes though.

for the love of good music, please play some other Bunnymen tunes!! Their catalogue is wonderfully vast! :verysorry:

Definitely. Good stuff. I think I had their backgrounds confused. Now, who was Ian McCulloch with...? Was THAT Oingo Boingo?
Just thought of it. HUSKER DU (?)

Know who wrote the theme to The Simpsons? Michael Jackson. Not really. It's Elfman. But ya had to know that already if you ever watch. It is a very prominent credit.

In my ears this sounds like the worst immitation of Talk Talk I've ever heard.
Ahhhhrg. Yuck!

this track was on a cassette mix a friend of mine made me about a dozen years ago. she could never remember who it was by, the title on the liner has long since rubbed off, and the cassette itself is now in some unlabeled box in storage an ocean away. i've not heard it in a *very* long time, and am quite glad to now. i'm having all sorts of good flashbacks.

i love this place. :-)
