Number 121: Echo & The Bunnymen - The Killing Moon
Formed by Ian McCulloch in 1978, Echo & The Bunnymen released several albums in the post-punk vein through the early 80s. Their big breakthrough came in 1984 with the Ocean Rain LP and mega-hit "The Killing Moon", which cracked the UK top 10 and brought the band to new heights of international recognition. A new generation was exposed to the song when it was featured in the movie Donnie Darko and appeared on that film's soundtrack. Echo & The Bunnymen take spot #121 in their only appearance on my Top 200.
Ever hear the Echo - MGMT mashup version ? Quite brilliant
