I have never heard of Echo and the Bunnymen. Whats a good song from them?

Yes you have (in the film Donnie Darko) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX1PwkgwsG0

Here's one by Pink Floyd - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR5ApYxkU-U

Edit : Here's the same Floyd song but live so you might get an idea of the legendary light show they put on - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZbM_MIz4RM

Yep. That's probably their most famous song. I liked Evergreen Album a lot. It came out around 1997 but most of their stuff is 80's ish time frame

TOOOOL!!! and Rush classic bands.
I have never heard of Echo and the Bunnymen. Whats a good song from them? The rest are great bands. I had to double check the thread and nobody has posted any Pink Floyd or Chevelle songs. I was surprised!

Pardon me there is some Pink Floyd posted already.

Stupid Youtube has taken down one of my links.........Here is Hull band 'The Housemartins' singing an a capella version of an Isley brothers song. Now it's live! Check out Paul 'the voice' Heaton - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-uUS6bSOP4

Here is probably the most famous song by them - Happy hour - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7_TMUJIWwyI

Here's some OLD SCHOOL RAP. If your fans of rap at all some of this is great rap and you should listen.

First is Africa Bambaataa. Whenever I listen to them or watch their videos they put a smile on my face.

Kool Moe Dee

Too Short

Rappin 4 Tay

This last rap song /video is one of the biggest collaborations I have ever seen by any musicians to address the extremely serious problems, that were occurring in the late 1980's among African Americans, mostly being directed at drug dealing and gang banging. It is an extremely explicit and clear message that the violence occurring at the time has got to stop. If you have never heard "Self Destruction" before it delivers a socially shocking message.

Quality stuff right there This is the best radio station ever I would claim that your post was really well timed as I was listening to hip hop myself.....but I'm constantly listening so it wouldn't be strictly accurate.......
Some slightly more up to date stuff from my current favourites 'Heiruspecs' starting with one of their best videos - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i24lYJBzLu0

Guns and Knives - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctCwaROSkQY

One from their first album that really speaks to me right now - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63n5_wVuV8k

Their more rocknroll 3rd album - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gd0MIppIRk

And because sometimes the kids today forget what the Jazz is all about....from their very jazzy 4th album - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOuHn0V4jfw&playnext=1&list=PL795B1FC97C51407D&feature=results_video

If you like this I guarantee you'll find things you like better by listening to MOAR Heiruspecs

I've heard a lot worse, man lol - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRMevGc3934

Here's a poppy British girl I sort of like but don't really recommend too much - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McdqerXrwXE

I can think of reasons to like them that don't include musical talent too ......though I prefer a petite brown-eyed brunette
