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?

Michael Been's son Robert is founder of BRMC. BMRC covered "Let the Day Begin" on their last live album.

It has nothing to with record sales. Big country debut comes to mind. Virtual flawless debut with a gluttony of high quality tracks. Sounds like I'm slagging them but I'm not.In short, They.never made a Joshua Tree. Few bands do.

Tears for Fears gave us an 80's masterpiece w/ 'Songs from the big Chair'. I still listen to this disc in 2015. Sure its sounds a little dated, and holds up well. In the grand-scheme of things, the 80's was more about cocaine, than anything else. keep me posted and Happy Listening!
