Pretty much every decade has some great music and some lousy music. |

| all about the experiences...
|
| discovered U2 and Echo around the same time circa 1981/82. Completely changed the way I listened to and thought about music. Crocodiles, Porcupine, Heaven up here and Ocean Rain mark the tempo of my college years. If you have not listened to those four albums give them a try. Anything after Ocean Rain is marginal (pun intended) a few songs like this one, Evergreen and others notwithstanding.

I the spirit of moving this thread forward: I'm an avid Bunnymen fan, and if you like this I suggest you check out what I think are their two greatest albums: Heaven Up Here and Porcupine. I know some fans will shun me for not including their first album "Crocodiles" but it just doesn't hold up overall for me. There is always the greatest hits album which is very good overall too "Songs to Learn and Sing" and I recently saw a new greatest hits called: "The Very Best of...." (but I'm not familiar with that one...) They are a pioneering band from the early 80's and worth digging into if you never have! |

On second listen, I like the sound of my farts better.  |

| I was dying to know how they got the infinite sustain on the guitar. . .turns out it's a little gizmo called an "e-bow." Check it out: http://www.ebow.com/home.php . Also the namesake for the REM song "E-bow the Letter." I always wondered about that! |
| I really like this song - however, the production and vocals seem a tad lifeless to me. I once heard a live version on Fabchannel (long gone... sigh) that was quite magical.

| From Fleetwood Mac to Echo and the Bunnies...priceless and only on RP.
