New Wave Outpost Forum

Seeing the good response that the "Best DM's songs" thread got, i also think it would be really interesting seeing other NWO members favourite Echo And The Bunnymen songs. As always, let's try to keep it in a maximum of 10 songs so as it really reflect our taste.
Here's my list:
The Killing Moon
Bring on the dancing horses
Rescue
The Cutter
Never Stop
A promise
Lips like sugar
Seven Seas
Nothing lasts forever
Stormy weather (yeah that's really recent)

Upppsss... I am thinking of more but I'm resisting myself of adding more than 10.

Here is my list

The Killing Moon
Baby Rain
Nothing Last Forever
Seven Seas
I Want To be There (When You Come)
Lips Like Sugar
Silver
Rescue
Rust
Bring On The Dancing Horses

I pretty much agree with both of your lists except I'd remove "Dancing Horses" and maybe another and replace them with "Crystal Days", "Villiers Terrace" and "The Puppet".

I like Ocean rain for some reason...

I have to thank Bfflogrrl for introducing me to Echo many years ago with a 12" remix of Killing Moon. That will always be my favorite from them.

I also love:
The Cutter
Never Stop
Ocean Rain
Paint It Black

What about: Do it clean
Breaking the back of love

I totally forgot about Do It Clean! Great song oldpunk!

That is a great song. A synthpop group called Merge do a good job covering that Echo track.

Sorry if this list is similar to others. Mine in order:

1 Ocean Rain
2 Seven Seas
3 The Killing Moon
4 Never Stop
5 Nocturnal Me
6 A Promise
7 All Because of You Days
8 Pictures On My Wall
9 The Cutter
10 Back of Love

Heavy slant towards Ocean Rain I know, but that album is one of the all time greats IMHO.

Yeah, like the reason that it's one of the greatest songs ever written! [8D]

I think Ocean Rain was their best album. It was also the album that I first got introduced to back in the day.

Hey, don't freak out ... I just moved these to the 'Top Ten' section. Hey, it was beginning to feel lonely![:D]

Anyhoo...<span style="font-size:8pt">hoo</span>...<span style="font-size:7pt">hoo</span> Echo...<span style="font-size:8pt">echo</span>...<span style="font-size:7pt">echo</span>

The Killing Moon
Back of Love
The Cutter
Too Young to Kneel
Blue Blue Ocean
Bring on the Dancing Horses
Never Stop
Ocean Rain
Nocturnal Me
Do It Clean
With a Hip

It was rightly transfered. [:)]

All the lists are great. I'd add The Game... which's excellent.

3. Read it in Books (Single Mix)

Bedbugs and Ballyhoo was always my fave. No one mentioned that. Hmm.. Is it rare now? I believe it was the b side to "Lips Like Sugar" but I could be wrong...
