simple minds

Scottish Stadium Rockers,Lead Singer Jim Kerr. Great Band Sadly much ignored now outside their native Scotland.In the 80's there were only Simple Minds and U2 to get excited about.They have now been eclipsed by their Irish Cousins(Undeservedly).Still around! and actually making better music now than they have in years .Check out their latest album 'Black and White' it kicks arse and is better than any album from U2 since the Joshua tree

Simple Minds Sing ''Don't You Forget About Me''
