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?

Moody Blues, Yes, April Wine all hit commercial if not creative peaks in the 80's.
Depeche Mode still touring and releases albums so what?
They started in 80's.
None mentioned Talk Talk. They reached their peak in early 90's though.
Not "Big Music", more " post-post-punk", but Red Lorry Yellow Lorry had a great debut LP featuring "Hallow eyes" and "Talk about the weather." Definite Joy Division connection.
So "big music" is actually not music. It's simply pop that has nothing to do with music. I think music is something else but 80's pop.
