1165.0. "Big Country" by FABSIX::K_KAMAR (Love Is Like A Rock) Sun Jun 23 1996 18:01

    O.K.....Here's another topic that I didn't find in here.
    I know this also may not belong in H_M.....but, here goes anyway....
    
                     BIG COUNTRY
    
    Who likes 'em ???    Who doesn't ????
    
    If you don't care for the celtic-based " pop-rock " style of their
    earlier stuff, try listening to 'em now. :-)
    
    Their new stuff is pretty heavy....especially their album 
    " Buffalo Skinners "....it's VERY hard rock .
    I was pleasantly suprised when I gave it a listen....:-)

    Whoa!!!! Major flashback... man I must be getting old!!!
    
    I did like these guys in high school. I haven't heard  anything from
    them in many years. 
    The guitar player was pretty good, if my memory is right.

    They are still together....doing well.
    
    They've released more stuff in the U.K. than they have here....but,
    there still are a few albums of theirs floating about. :-)
    
    Their last 2 albums..." Buffalo Skinners " and " Why The Long Face "
    are REALLY REALLY good.  No more of that..."in a big country dreams
    stay with you....." type stuff. They have a much heavier hard rock /
    alternative sound now, with MUCH less "bagpipe" influence.
    
    I highly recommend the two aforemetioned albums.  You WON'T be
    disappointed !!!! :-)

    	"In a Big Country" was a great song, and still is.

In A Big Country has got to be one of the absolute worst songs ever made!

Ow!  It pains me to even think of it...

You know... I'd listen to ABBA *gladly* over that song!

    	Some of you people have absolutely NO taste in music whatsoever.
    	I don't know why I even bother.  8^)
    
    	But that's OK ... check note 166 in the next hour and I think
    	I'll REALLY get some people pissed off at me.  8^)

    these guys were the last concert I saw before I left the
    motherland.They did an acoustic set in Stirling University and it was
    very good.They did a good cover of "don't fear the reaper"
