'Ocean's Rain' & 'Porcupine' & 'Crocodiles'

Ocean’s Rain is considered Echo and the Bunnymen’s best album although I prefer the earlier Porcupine, which features the great “The Killing Moon.” Crocodiles, the band’s debut, is an interesting album although it catches the band at it’s embronyic stage and sounds excessively pop and 1980s New Wave. 

 

I find it easy to argue that all five of Echo’s albums from the 1980s are really good to great and a relative must for any record collection of note. Outside of Crocodiles, you could struggle with it being 30-year-old music.
