Anybody into 80s big music?


Big music=big guitars, big drums, anthemic songs, etc. Big Country, XTC, the Alarm, the Call, the Waterboys, Simple Minds, Cactus World News, and of course U2. Any others come mind?

Love the genre. Every now and then I dust off a few of these and offend the neighbors:

The Cult- Love
U2- the first 3 or 4 albums
Chameleons UK- the first 3 or 4
The Cure- Disintegration is my favorite
Hoodoo Gurus- Mars Needs Guitars
The Bolshoi- (Trevor Tanner's solo works are great too)
Simple Minds-
The Church
Gene Loves Jezebel
Waterboys- first couple of albums (I agree with Marty about World Party)

Even though a lot of these are pretty electric, I preferred them over the "hair' bands.
I enjoy the Call and like Black Rebel Motorcycle Club even more. Michael Been's son Robert is founder of BRMC. BMRC covered "Let the Day Begin" on their last live album.
