10 comments so far (post your own)I tried listening to these polesmokers once but the CD made my cd player throw up and curl up whimpering in the corner as if it had been sexually assaulted. Posted by You Suck For Liking This Band on Friday, 01/11/2013 @ 16:53pm |
..anyone see the live videos of 'with a hip','do it clean' and 'never stop'?..my favorite song being 'silver' from ocean rain. This was pre grunge..anyone old enough to remember..oh were we jamming to this..what came after who knows?..tell me they aren't worthy. Posted by Echonaut on Tuesday, 12/16/2014 @ 19:02pm |
They absolutely belong in the rock hall. Below is a post on my Echo and the Bunnymen to the Rock Hall FB page explaining what I believe to be wrong with the Rock Hall's selection process and my reasons for E&TB inclusion. Please like my page if you're a fan. Posted by Mary Sweeney on Sunday, 12/20/2015 @ 12:45pm |
In short, yes they belong in the HoF. As one of the most influential bands in post-punk Britain the Bunnymen released critically acclaimed records such as Crocodiles, Heaven Up Here, Ocean Rain, Evergreen, What Are You Going To Do With Your Life, and in some circles Siberia, as well as Flowers.

An integral part of my musical awakening ! Depth of character in an evolving style of sound that has grown with me and stood the test of time. They continue to be as crisp as ever live and I try to attend every show in T. Posted by The tripper on Friday, 11/6/2020 @ 22:08pm |
I think they'll get in one day but it could take a decade or so. Posted by David on Friday, 02/19/2021 @ 15:41pm |
Echo and the Bunnymen are icons for the Modern Gothic genre of the genX generation. I put them in the same level of greatness musicly as ; The Cure, Depeche Mode, Icicle Works ,The Smiths & New Order. Posted by Anders R on Friday, 04/22/2022 @ 14:03pm |
Echo and the Bunnymen absolutely belong in the Rock and roll Hall of fame! They have four critical and classic albums that are like no other in rock history. They have haunting sounds, lyrics and are quintessential postpunk and neopsychedelia, which for some reason is largely ignored by the Rock and roll Hall of Fame.

I'd be surprised if they ever made it in, but you never know. Mostly it tends to be American and Billboard controlled. This band has quite a following but generally you don't want the HOF too far past the bands prime. They are more known in the UK, and while touring everywhere haven't ever captured mainstream music.

I think the band is delightful Posted by Patrick Imel on Friday, 02/9/2024 @ 16:27pm |
