Q Inspiration Award 2002: Echo and the Bunnymen

" The Inspiration Award recognises acts that have inspired new generations of musicians, songs and music lovers in general. Echo and the Bunnymen are worthy winners as an act that has done much to promote the Mersey music scene, as well as providing inspiration for many of today’s new bands. Previous winners include BB King, John Lydon, Brian Eno and David Bowie, Patti Smith, New Order and Joe Strummer. "






"One I Love"

" Found on: "In My Place" single / Live 2003
They may be borrowing their title from R.E.M., but "One I Love" is a byproduct of Coldplay's love affair with Echo & the Bunnymen. Coldplay made no secret of their admiration for the band, covering "Lips Like Sugar" regularly in 2002 and 2003. "One I Love" strips away the Bunnymen's goth trappings, turns up the "soar" knob and recasts them as the arena-rock stars that Coldplay were fast becoming.

" Echo & the Bunnymen: The post-new wave Liverpudlian legends have influenced dozens of bands, from emerging Radiohead and Coldplay, to Arcade Fire (which does a great cover of The Cutter). " - edmonton journal july 30, 2014
