Ha! Does it sound like shit (you can say it, we're all adults here) because you were born in 1987? Is your relative youth an impediment to good taste? I solute your balls for having such advanced powers of self-reflection.

Thanks for playing Echo and the Bunnymen. First concert I ever went to. Billy Bragg opened for them. Made me smile.

I think we could have done without the dance remix.
That seems to be true of most remixes, though.

I love the original version, but despite my best efforts to have an open mind, this version doesn't work..at least not for me.

I'm not sure if this is a really great song with a rocking groovy beat or if my speakers are just that good that the song made me smile. =)

The doctor part of me won<'t go into the fact that there are over 5 billion germs in the human mouth alone. "Sugar kisses" would be 5+ billion germs plus a trip to the local dentist office, but that isn't as much fun as just jammin' to the fact that the base sounds good with this audio setup. =)

Never had heard the cocaine correlation as it is a foreign substance to me, but enough friends have gone down that road that I can understand it in context of the lyrics.

I have about a dozen of the "Just" collections!  Always surprises, and tons of listening pleasure. {#Music}  Kool pamphlets with the CD's too.

Back in the early 80s I was visiting some friends in San Francisco and drove over to Half Moon Bay for a little surfing. Contrary to the usual rumors of Cali localism, I found the crew in the water to be pretty friendly. They invited me to join them in an expedition that evening to see a band they were all pretty excited about - Echo and the Bunnymen. I'd never heard of them before, but I was a fan after that night. Thanks, guys!

Anyone remember the rest of these Sire CD samplers? Just Say Da, Just Say Mao, etc. There were all kinds of good tracks on them.

And we thought extended dance mixes were a good idea why??????????????

So that we could dance for longer to a song. The clue's in the phrase "extended dance mix" ;). From a record buying viewpoint they were a bit of a con, mind, a way of record companies making extra money off the same track by releasing a 12" and charging double single prices for it.

I hate 80s snare drum sounds (synth drums should be banned outright, but even normal 80s drums always get that gated reverb sound.) And 80s bass guitar sounds are always metallic and tinny - never warm, fat and funky. In fact those DX7 keyboards on most 80s hits sound complete shit as well. I think all the 80s stuff worth hearing needs to be remastered taking away that awful drum sound, get some warmth into the mix and then I'll attempt to listen to it. Echo & Bunnymen is supposed to be good 80s stuff, but it still sounds like crap to me.

 
Music wise the 80's were pretty tinny overall.  You put warmth in and you start having bad 90's style music. You may not like it, I am not a big fan, but it is what it is.

Basically, I disagree with you about what you seem to characterize as "80s stuff." But let me ask you this, if you take away all the "stuff" that makes it "80s stuff," what is it?

The only criticism I have for you Bill after listening for years is to play Lips Like Sugar less. Echo has dozens of songs SO MUCH BETTER!!!

Sad thing is that this is one of the more tastefully done 80s drum tracks! Even got my foot tapping after a few seconds.

Fortunately the beat's got a good enough groove to carry it over the processing and default-preset PCM70 reverb... The reversed verb on the muted cowbell hits is a nice touch though, my ears pricked up in delight at that. (it's the little things with me)

With regards to the person who said they were glad that the CD this is from helped them out of the 70s music scene, there was nothing wrong with it! 80s rock/pop had nothing on 70s rock/pop.
