Today Echo and the Bunnymen release their tenth studio album since forming in 1978. Technically they have released 11 albums if you count Reverberation which did not feature original singer Ian McCulloch (I don't). The band released several classic albums in their early days including: Crocodiles, Heaven Up There, Ocean Rain and Porcupine. During the eighties they were locked in a battle with fellow post punk warriors U2 as to who would be the biggest band in Great Britain. Well U2 went on to sell out stadiums around the world and the Bunnymen broke up. Now more than a decade after reforming they continue to release solid albums while U2 have become a parody of themselves.
