Echo & the Bunnymen VS Psychedelic Furs

[FarLeftRage]

Which is the better of the two?

1. No contest here.

2. Echo, but IMHO it IS too close.

Echo may be better, but Ian McCullogh could certainly be a pretentious poop.

BTW, Furs' Here Come Cowboys sounds prophetic these days.

There are colors flashing
people wearing stars and stuff
there are engines cracking
there's a way to turn it off
It gets so hard at times
to take it serious
it really gets to be a drag
when all we really need is love
(CHORUS)
Here Come Cowboys - Here to save us all
Here Come Cowboys - They're so well inside the law
Here Come Cowboys - They're no fun at all
You've been waiting so long
you've been waiting for today
don't you put yourself on
don't you take yourself away
It gets so hard at times
to take it serious
it really gets to be a drag
when all we really need is love

3. I like them both...

but I'd give the Furs a slight edge...

4. Easily the mighty McCullogh and the Bunnymen

However, I also like the Furs (even though I agree with the early reviewer who said that they often sounded like David Bowie fronting ? and the Mysterians)

5. i like the first few Psychedlic Furs cds and don't even remotely

like Echo and the Bunneymen.

[Aristus]

6. E&TBM.

Their cover version of "People Are Strange" is killer!
