80s Music A-Z: B

We continue with the 80s A-Z with the letter B. There were quite a few choices with this letter: Bangles, Bow Wow Wow, B-52s, etc. But I decided to go with a one that had a unique sound imbued with Scottish folk sounds. I speak, of course, of Big Country. Here is the most famous song from Big Country. I was unable to find the original video, so this is from Top of the Pops. It appears that the band may actually be lip-synching, but I decided to use it anyway, as you can hear the recorded version (at least most of it) of the song with the band "performing" it. 
Big Country reunited in 2007, with original member Tony Butler replacing Stuart Adamson as lead vocalist. ( Adamson had committed suicide in 2001.) They currently still tour, having brought in former members of The Alarm, but without Adamson, they just aren't the same. 

C is for Cookie, of course, but it's also for our next featured artist. Check back to see who that may be. 

And as always, Thanks for playing.
