On this Day in 1984, Echo & the Bunnymen released "The Killing Moon" - the lead single from their fourth studio album "Ocean Rain"

"Under a Blue Moon I Saw You"


A Complete Masterpiece that has stood the test of time.

Wow!! I don’t think so at all. To me its underplayed on platforms and after 40 years it still feels fresh when I hear it or play it myself.

As I posted above. Not sure why Bedbugs and Ballyhoo was on the link.


I gone back and have done a deep dive on some of their newer stuff and it's not bad. I have this one as of favorite of theirs.

That was my point, I hear it everywhere now, much more often than when it was new and fresh. In the last month I've probably heard it 10 times at various stores, bars and retirement homes.
