We know there is more to life than the music of the Bunnymen. Talk about those other bands here.

Simple Minds

Got tickets to see Simple Minds at the Empire next year. Not sure what to expect really. I used to love them until about 1986 when they way too mainstream and have hardly listened to them since. Looking forward to it though...

I really enjoyed their last album (Graffiti Soul) it shows The Fountain up for the pile of tosh that it is.

Had a listen to a couple of songs from graffiti soul as a result of Dr.Cheese's comments and it sounds pretty good, especially moscow underground.

Once upon a time was ok. Reminds me of 'dancing' to alive and kicking in Benidorm on my first lads holiday... :cool:

that late? i liked waterfront but kind of went off them when i saw jim doing his bobbing up and down dance on The Tube. That version of street hassle on SITR is rubbish. I thought sons & fascination/sister feelings call was great but not much after that.
