Anybody into 80s big music?

How about the Romantics, Simple Minds, and the Psychedelic Furs?

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.

David + David had one of the best(non-metal)recordings of the 80's.

alot of the glossier, new-wavy stuff hasn't held up that well, but i still reach back to the slightly edgier, guitar-oriented english bands of that era--echo, chameleons uk, icicle works, smiths. also the sound, comsat angels and lucy show (somewhat less renowned, but equally worthy). the psychedelic furs (mentioned by waltersalas above) first couple of albums are also timeless--those songs stick with you 30+ years later.

Dead Can Dance started out in 80s. Also, John McLaughlin/Paco de Lucia/Al di Meola guitar trio.
It's big music in different sense.
