    I think Big Country shared some sound with U2 because Steve Lillywhite Produced both bands and at the time the sound was unique and new.

    Fantastic band, Big Country, in all ways, lyrical content is pure poetry, them guitars just cry out, I always admired how Stuart Adamsons lyrics were quite often from a womans point of view, a great loss.
    I personally have every version of every song and video, live concerts, movie, their catalogue is immense with all the rarities and variations.

    You nailed the comparison with U2. I would bet they were influenced by Stuart Adamson. My cousin lives in Dumfermline, Scotland, where Stuart was from. When their soccer team enters the field they still play, "Into the Valley." Love this line, "If we only get our back against the wall, I look at backs that pushed the wall for years, Scarred by many knives and too much fear." Great Job!

      The Edge practically said as much. They were fans of the Skids. A reaction to Skids' Masquerade or Into the Valley, next.

    A lesser known Big Country song from the No Place Like Home album called "Ships" is well worth a listen, very different to his other stuff but a phenomenal track

    Scotish/English band formed in Scotland. Sadly, the lead singer Stuart, took his own life back in 2001. Their first three albums are very good, even had Kate Bush doing some backing vocals on the third album "The Seer".

    Stuart Adamson was great lyricist. His lyrics are almost like long poems and draw heavily from literature.
