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?

The Outfield...perfect! Asia! Always liked Charlie Sexton...beats so lonely.. Bit more new wave...but early 80s had some overlap genres
Mapman not too much I care about Billy Idol, but his guitarist Steve Stevens is really figure.
Czarivey,
Your playlist resembles what the clubs I frequented were playing. "How Soon is Now" always filled the dance floor.

Never heard the term "Big music," but I guess these don't qualify... Post-Punk, New Romantic, Gothic, Techno, Industrial, New Wave.
