Echo and the Bunnymen had an immediate impact on me the moment I first heard one of their songs. Strangely enough it wasn't the band performing it. Back in the early 80's I spent some time around the punk/new wave clubs here in Tampa, Fl. and it was there that I heard one of the local bands (forget which one) performing an Echo and the Bunnymen cover. I remember being drawn to the style of music though I discovered later that the local band didn't really do Echo music very well. Once I finally listened to the original song I was blown away and thereafter went after whatever Echo albums that were available. I picked up Crocodiles and Porcupine and began to immerse myself in the atmospheric instrumentals and haunting/clever lyrics. I remain a fan of Echo today however I can't say I loved every song I've heard though songs like 'The Cutter, Back of Love and Lips Like Sugar' are still some of my favorite tunes.
