Simple Minds - Nancy's Favorite Band

With some huge hits in the mid-eighties, this is the only Simple Minds album I own. Am posting it because they are Nancy's all-time favorite band and today is her birthday. I think she fancies lead singer Jim Kerr. I like them because they are from Scotland. Director John Hughes passed away recently, and from his classic movie, The Breakfeast Club, who can forget Don't You Forget About Me? Get it? We saw them live at one of our most memorable concerts. A few summers ago, they played at a tiny club in Chicago called Metro, in front of just a few hundred people. Standing, we could literally touch the stage. This album has the anthemic Alive and Kicking.
