Country Discussion: Big Country

[magicjuan]

Still remain one of the best bands, I`ve ever seen live and still one of my favourite bands.

Criminally underated.

Sefton Park? Adamson was one of the greatest guitarists I've seen.
A very tight band musically.

A funny cult film with a Big Country soundtrack ?

Might be thinking of someone else but did the lead singer not die by suicide?

That was the Old Grey Whistle Test, Larks in the Park 1983.

This lesser known - Angle Park, still retains a lot of the sound of the Skids.

Same for Adele.
Makes me want to self harm hearing her cryarsing.
Makes my skin itch.

My mum turns over the telly whenever she comes on.

Not for the singing or the music, for some reason the way Adele moves her hands when she's singing really winds her up lol

It's like she's constantly fighting the urge to eat cream cakes for fun again.

First time I ever saw them live.

Just a brilliant weekend at the Bandstand in Sefton Park.

Wouldn’t happen now, hundreds of pissed / stoned people on a slope, facing a small lake, with no lighting and live bands lol

Larks In The Park.
Good times them as a kid.

I've learned more about Big Country in the last 10 minutes than I have in the last 20 years.

Best country song, ever.

 

[Cork Evertonian]

One of Scotland's finest bands.

The greatest scottish band in my opinion. If you don't like Big Country, then you have some pretty serious issues! Their 90's output wasn't as strong as their 80's material, but it was still decent.

The Edge said that Big Country wrote the songs, that U2 wished they could have written themselves.
