Simple Minds - Glittering Prize 81/92 (1992)

Simple Minds is a rock band from Scotland, formed in 1977. Wikipedia gives plenty of info about them.

Glittering Prize is a compilation album containing the most famous song of the band - Don't You (Forget About Me). The song is written for the soundtrack to the film The Breakfast Club in 1985 (haven't seen it actually).

Another great hit single is Alive and Kicking, from the 1985 album Once Upon a Time:



I haven't yet heard an entire studio album by Simple Minds, but I like this compilation CD. Even though it has a rock genre label, and there are some nice guitars, it sounds more like new wave to me.

This is a nice album to hear, relaxing and pleasant. I recommend it to everyone, here it is at Spotify.
