Big Country

[David]

Remember the early '80s band from Scotland Big Country? The lead singer committed suicide, but the band recorded such exhilarating classics as "In a Big Country," "Fields of Fire," "Wonderland," "All Fall Together" & "One Great Thing."

With its two lead guitars sounding like bagpipes in perfect IVth harmony, the band helped clear the stale airwaves of English synth pop. See Steve Simels's review of "The Crossing" in Stereo Review.
