The Full List

Day 30 of #simplemindstop30 and my probable favourite SM
Track - Hunter And The Hunted. Incredible cohesion of sounds with one of Jim's strongest lyrics. A beauty.

Ahead of the final two playlists for the #SimpleMindsTop30 music challenge, it’s nice to see that the selections aren’t just “the hits”. Perhaps record labels could think beyond those for any future Best Of compilations… 🤔

No. 1: Alive and Kicking

"Who is gonna come
and turn the tide?"

Hypnotised | 1995

#SimpleMindsTop30 No. 1

Colours Fly And Catherine Wheel | New Gold Dream (81-82-83-84)

My favourite and it’s on my No 1 album.
For me it’s the most representative song of the album.
It’s got an amazing DF bass line and Mick & Charlie sounding like each other.

It affects me so much that I mistyped the numbers as I was so overcome listening to it! Could I pretend my version was on vinyl and stuck at that point? ;-)

This Fear Of Gods | 1980

Peak Zoom/Arista era Simple Minds. A huge song, propelled by the rhythm section in imperious form. A true behemoth. Their deserved sales and success would arrive later on but more of the world should know Empires and Dance.

1. Big Sleep

Its keyboards and bass are hypnotic. It’s a fantastic song in an album full of them (all made my top 30)

Thanks @tansleyjames.bsky.social for hosting. I now have 10 of their CDs, based on you and @top10nathan.bsky.social posting about them which made me curious
