The person who left the comment about the best bands pf the 80s you have gdeat taste. But u left out a couple husker dus- candy apple gray, and ministry- with sympathy, great list . we need more of this music today.
i wanted to tell her but i stuck to my lies i wanted to tell her till i looked in her eyes i wanted to tell her i needed to tell her. wow the memories. we are getting old Doug
I absolutely love Lorde's cover of this song, and the original is good as well! Both have the same lyrics, and even though they have different and enjoyable feels, there's something linking them together in the emotions and I love it.
leafninja247 yeet Lorre is an arrogant pop idol. Replacements were raw wounded Genius, that never came close to hitting mainstream success. Please don’t compare.
Heard this song from Lorde and didn't know it was a cover, wow, this brings me back even though I wasn't around during this time. Reminds me of being younger and listening to my parent's music.
I listen to this version of Swingin' Party every day. You can hear the desperation in his voice all thru the song. No more recent versions can hold a candle to this.
Yes, I have. Didn't expect anybody to bring it up here, lol. Anyways, Ocean Rain is a great album, but my favorite Echo & the Bunnymen album is probably Heaven Up Here.
Fuck, Westerberg can write a song. He was a songwriter who gave a shit in a band who initially barely gave enough of a shit to bash out a song. That was the magic when they were at the top of their game like here.
I am looking forward to seeing the MATS in 3 days in Washington, DC....hopefully they play this classic and AlexChilton, Bastard of Young and Kiss me on the Bus and 16 Blue and Androgynous
Will always be the most under-rated band ever. My have 'The Replacements Stink' lp, 'Don't Tell A Soul' lp and the cd with "Johnny's Gonna Die"----but need all their stuff.
I listened to Kindness's version (paper towns) and Lorde's version. I agree with +TheFutureKing, Lorde's version is VERY bland, with no emotion. Now, I'm not a music critic or anything, but I would gladly get paid to NOT listen to her version. Anyway, I think this is a capital-V very great song.
I went to listen to the rest of the album and I wasn't really feeling it. . LOVE This Song Though! It just sounds like it belongs elsewhere . . It's so different from the rest
Gbjkak wow people really got agro over this huh. Don’t know if you still think this, but imo that’s a very surface level thought. Just because something is slow and sung somberly doesn’t mean it’s deeper. Sort of like how an edgier media isn’t deeper then a happy one. Its more about the nuance and the ideas it brings up. I personally like this version more because I like the music better, but also I enjoy the ... desperation/loneliness that it conveys.
