Simple Minds have been musical pioneers for 40 glittering years. Catching the mood of the post-punk era, when the angry sounds of 1977 were splintering into a thousand different shapes, they emerged with a style rooted in the art-rock of David Bowie and the electronic dance of Donna Summer. They went on to become one of the great bands of their generation, deploying rousing choruses and booming atmospherics to provide a soundtrack that has endured. They topped the American chart with Don't You (Forget About Me) and followed suit in the UK with the Ballad Of The Streets EP (featuring Belfast Child). In selling over 60 million records, they have seen three of their 20 studio albums reach number one in the UK - Sparkle In The Rain, Once Upon A Time and Street Fighting Years - a chart-topping feat equalled by their live album Live In The City Of Light and the compilation Glittering Prize. A spellbinding touring band, they have graced the world's biggest stadiums. They starred at Live Aid and played three momentous London shows in honour of Nelson Mandela. The past decade has also seen a remarkable resurgence, their world-class credentials acknowledged by a Q magazine Inspiration award in 2014 and an Ivor Novello in 2016. They are now marking their 40th anniversary with a world tour, live album and career-spanning compilation.

My favourite S.M. track now. More than even the early 80's classics !

[@kerrfal]

Still here in 2021 and still loving this song! Powerful, haunting and brilliant! Hope they bring it back on the list in 22 tour! Best band in the world!

[@123currie123]

Wow. When it kicks in at the start. Typical Simple minds sound, superb.

[@goldsaj]

Emotionally powerful.. With just about every track by the band, I can listen to it again, and again, and again. And it still sounds as good, or if not better than when I first heard it.

[@binoj1967]

An amazing song and the fact Jim Kerr sounds the way he does after 30+ years is just remarkable!!!

[@alantyrer1]

Totally agree with Christos 1973 this is one of the best songs Simple minds have done for a long time

[@CraigRattleHead]

Honest Town is a modern day classic. Its got a timeless quality to it that fits perfect among the other classic tracks.

[@ArtAndTalk]

Any songwriter would be proud of this song. Well done Jim & Iain!!

[@clem7415]

Anyone would agree with you Art and Talk ! Any artist would be proud of every single song they wrote or interpreted !

Yes indeed, a great live version, but 'Broken Glass Park' ('Celebrate : The Greatest Hits' version) was pretty stunning too (as well as the live renditions they did on that 2013 GH tour).

[@RichardGordonBruce]

What is this: Mini-Moog or some shit? These guys never cease to freak me out...I think Simple Minds took a page out of Kraftwerk's electronic synthesizer book and time-warped it!

[@flyorfall]

Charlie Burchill king of sound.
