      yes Sir, I would not mind to be an older guy, as long as I had lived through the 1950s and especially the 1980s.
      the 80s had the best music, fashion, movies, etc. I can only fantasize about being a young man in those golden years of music!

      Really glad you discovered it my friend. Have you heard the extended edition with the different, more drawn out ending? I would also urge you to look into - if you haven't already - New Gold Dream 81 82 83 84. Their finest album hands down. Hunter and the Hunted is pure genius. Give it a few listens. Let it seep into your soul.

    This was their first big hit in Australia, making the top 20 in 1981 (#17). A pity that commercial radio now only plays "Don't You (Forget About Me)", and has seemingly forgotten all their other hits (including "Promised You a Miracle", "Glittering Prize", etc.)

    • @kyachdistent1301
      @kyachdistent1301 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      No it isn't, everyone WAY better than this has worse treatment. The list is endless: Kim Wilde, OMD, A-ha, Bangles, Kirsty MacColl, Bluebells, Aztec Camera, Cock Robin, Comsat Angels, Toyah, Big Country, Belouis Some, China Crisis, T'Pau, Shakespears Sister, Sheena Easton, Roxette, Crowded House, Deacon Blue, The Smiths, Talk Talk, Belouis Some-even Duran Duran's post-1984 even better tunes and the grand ABBA get treated like this, especially all the girls' solo stuff. Even bloody worse for acts like Sandra, Alphaville, 'Til Tuesday, Real Life and Information Society that weren't even give a proper crack at the Top 75! Simplistic Minds get bloody lucky in comparison and should be considered bloody lucky, when they're nowhere near as good as their rep lies. Big bad, sometimes absurdly sung interchangable stadium noise that often goes on too long. Simply put, 'Don't You Forget' is probably their best and it made them remembered for it in the US. Least they get that. Anyway, 'Promised You A Miracle' is a thick and twatty number, their worst 80s song ever, and way too often all heart radio's old crappy 80s night, where they never played 'Don't You Forget'. How funny is that? Not. Best forgotten is that horrible tune. Their most standout numbers for me are the quite few-'This Is Your Land' and 'See The Lights'. Even on good rowdy numbers like 'Alive And Kicking' & 'All The Things She Said', his pompous and bawdy and often none-too discernible singing-and often overdone, does these tunes no favours. There are better vocalists fronting bands out there in the 80s-he is weak compared with them.

      Bro I live in Perth Australia and there is a radio station called Easy Hits Fm that plays the worst of '70s and 80s music and I'm forced to listen to it at work. No chance of hearing artistic gems like this and yes the only Simple minds track that gets played is Don't You Forget. The station sucks shit and even the news bulletins are bollocks.

      Mate, this is just like the UK. They always play crap-even when it was in the 90s, unless you were an overrated, undeserving 80s artist (Sting, Phil Collins, Paul Weller, The Cure, Slagdonna-the worst-Michael Jackson) they never play your stuff anymore, and NEVER EVER any new stuff the artist has got out. US radio is even worse as those xenophobic tossers only care about their own crap, apart from the bullshit from the UK today, when we've nothing any more, like everywhere else. Says it all.
      Easy Hits FM-the title says it all. It's so 'easy' to play shit-and as every station for decades is only interested in the Top 10-and mostly, it IS full of shit as the best songs usually never make the Top 40-and some see no charting, or even release at all! Bet there's still many artists in my list who didn't even get one play where you are.

      @@chipcity3016 More chart entries at heights than they deserved. Quality varied, and anyway, most 80s groups make U2 look and sound a joke, but while guitar-driven bands will never have the edge over synth-based ones or singers, Big Country and Crowded House outstrip them every time, and Duran, while not being solely guitar-based, certainly do. Anyone can have 'many hits' if they've a insane critically acclaimed following in the media; it's usually the people that only are allowed to get sparing hits that are better. Simple Minds still get treated way better on radio than most, along with Depeche Mode, Sting, Weller, Cure, Phil Collins, Slagdonna, Minogue, Tina Turner-all crap like that.

    Simple minds, legends for the last 40 years. Really enjoyed the music SimpleMinds did in the 80s. Love song, don't you forget about me, alive and kicking, new gold dream, Waterfront, all the things she said, to name a few.

    Within the UK England in the late 1970's you could not hear this track at all as the DJ's on popular radio stations would not play this song and were told not to!!! John Peel on radio 1 London played this song and all the other simple minds songs to along with the cramps and other so called alternative music. God Bless JOHN PEEL for doing so R.I.P.
