Otis Dylan “Alive & kicking” is a perfect example of what I was saying above, we loved this and, travel 120 miles round trip to see them do little pubs in Glasgow.

I was a very dark and suicidal teenager when this song was popular. I remember being in a car with my mom and this song played on the radio. She said "I dedicate this song to you." It became Our Song. After she died, I asked her time and time again, to hear Our Song and without fail, it played on the radio, played next on my spotify play list... I hear it when I miss her most, when I need to hear her voice; when i need to not feel as alone... Thanks for covering this song. You did so, just as I asked: Mom, please play our song.... As always, she did...

[@regnig99]

Simple Minds were an amazing live band back in the day. Early songs included "Promised you a Miracle" and "Glittering Prize" Worth a listen. Another great Scottish band worth listening to are "Big Country" Songs like "Waterfront", "Chance" and "In a Big Country" are phenomenal songs.

This wasn't their only Hit Record. They had others like "All The Things She Said" but it was best known from The Breakfast Club where Five Folks spend Saturday Detention together. There was The Punk, The Outcast, The Popular Girl, The Brain & The Athlete. They didn't know each other from Adam but at the end of the Day, they became Friends. They are from Scotland as is The Average White Band (Pick Up The Pieces) and The Eurythmics. This in my opinion one of the Best Songs from a Movie that never was nominated for an Oscar. It was one of many Movies that John Hughes (RIP) who helped shape and define life as a Teenager in the 1980's.

A huge hit of theirs of course but they started off as a completely different sounding band with songs like Chelsea Girl. They had many albums prior to this one and they are worth checking out. The American, Lovesong, I Travel, Glittering Prize, Up On The Catwalk, Waterfront. A great band. This was the theme song from the 80s film The Breakfast Club. They actually performed in America for Live Aid rather than in England. They’re Scottish. You should also check out OMD (Orchestral Manoevres In The Dark). Another classic 80s band. Don’t forget about Depeche Mode too :-)

Thank you! You just took me back to high school. Between Simple Minds and The Psychedelic Furs, that is the soundtrack of my teenage years.

[@lillybugg25]

This is my funeral song. And never a one hit wonder.. So many more great songs.

[@zhardoum]

For a while early 80’s Simple Minds were a bigger group than U2... had some big hits.. then came U2 and Sunday Bloody Sunday and U2 took over..

[@donnaziegler5512]

One of the best songs of the '80s; the song of a generation. If you have not seen "The Breakfast Club", do yourselves a favor and seek out this movie. It is relevant to this day and this song puts into words every awkward encounter you experienced in High School and beyond.

[@leob4403]

It's only relevant in seeing how badly this movie aged, it's unwatchable today

[@davewhitlow2984]

Here we go! (Please check out "All the Things She Said" and "Alive and Kicking") We had a foreign exchange student from Norway in our class in '84. He told us about "a band back home that was as popular (to them) as the Beatles". He said the were called Simple Minds. None of us had ever heard of them at the time. Then the movie "The Breakfast Club" came out.....

Jim Kerr's voice is so velvety. Saw them about 5 years ago and Tim's voice is still gold.

You should do a reaction to Crowded House "Dont Dream It's Over"

[@Rockmobile1]

This song always gives me goose bumps. That drummer is kick’n it!

[@sunilayya8948]

One of the very best 80s songs that still sound contemporary. Timeless.

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

“Alive and Kicking” is another **HUGE** hit of theirs! Please check it out- so not exactly a 1 hit wonder- I like “alive and kicking” as much if not more than this one- and I do love this one- ✌️✨

[@CarlBovis]

Great reaction. 👍 They're far from one hit wonders though, and some of their greatest songs weren't even released as singles! Check out Stay Visible, Signal and the noise, Waterfront, New Gold Dream, Hunter and the Hunted, Book of Brilliant things.... oh, there's so many cracking songs in their huge back catalogue! 👍

[@straycat1674]

Music in the 80s was a different breed. It doesn’t matter what you listen to it was all just incredible. Country, rock, metal, wrap, reggae R&B. It was all just another level. Music today just doesn’t compare.

[@dazzanomas9418]

About 8 years ago they come to play in the anphitheater just behind my house and they where great, i was never really in to them but will admit they put on a great show and with this song they had all 2,500 of us rocking and loving it. One last thing to say, that drummer is unbelievable live. Totally awesome drummer who really knows how to bang.

[@josephgilligan9698]

Simple minds are one of the greatest Scottish British bands ever. Love from Glasgow Scotland UK.🇬🇧🇺🇸🤣

[@joannparker1977]

Check out “Alive and Kicking” and “Sanctify Yourself”. This is a great but really under appreciated band.

Judd Nelson was my role model after I saw Breakfast Club.

John Hughes was a brilliant filmmaker but also was a man with a serious taste in music,The Smiths in Ferris,this brilliant song in Breakfast Club.The two will always go hand in hand.Anyone in their teens in the 80's who adored this movie automatically loved this song.Good days,happy times

[@sherryheim5504]

This is a great song, it really hits hard with the drum rhythms and base lines. Jim Kerr's voice is so haunting and unique.

[@sellingofitems]

Love the song "See The Lights" by Simple Minds. The extended version is even better!!!!

[@craigcook1030]

From the hit movie ‘The Breakfast Club’ with Michael Anthony Hell, Emilio Estéves, and Molly Ringwald.

[@Anguille2]

Another one of my favorite songs of the 80's. Huge band in the 80's.

[@roxannlegg750]

You guys all taking me down memory lane to my teens...(YUP - im THAT old....) just such a happy place going back to these tracks. The days when the synthesiser was KING. Every band of that era used them.

Brilliant tune never one shot wonder. There tunes from life in a day to now are epic. Aw best Mac.

"Alive and kicking" (a must...it hits in all the same ways as this song does and very popular) also great is "All the things she said" and "See the lights " and "Promised you a miracle"

Breakfast Club is a classic, but you probably recognize this song from the final battle in Pitch Perfect.

They were one among a huge range of UK New Wave/New Romantic bands of the 1980's. I was in my teen's back then...there were other great bands like The human league,Duran Duran,The Tompson twins,Spandau ballet,Yazoo and Depeche mode...to name the few i can remember right now. Best wishes to you and yours in these very challenging time's from Dublin.
