Yes this is a protest vote. Simple Minds don't have a best of let alone a top 3.

😅😅
Jesus, can't wait for Ocean Colour Scene now!!  Going full Simply Red on Simple Minds is a bit sledgehammer to open a pistachio,  no?!!

  somebody call wobblers nurse! Don't You Forget About Me is iconic for its use in The Breakfast Club.

lol.

Anyhow, I'm not saying they didn't have a couple of bangers.

But this thread, for me should follow a simple enough principle (which I've surely explained differently in previous form on the thread)...

Could they sell out Croke Park for a couple of nights?

If yes. Let them have their day in the sun.

If not... move on.

Simple Minds wouldn't fill Pairc Esler for a couple of nights.

Simply Red might lol.

By that logic , this thread would only consist of Taylor Swift , One Direction and  Garth  Brooks 

Are  you putting forward  Simply Red for the  to-do list? 

[thewobbler]

Definitely not!

Btw the likes of Queen, Bowie, Elton, Stones, Beatles and Fleetwood Mac would have sold out Croke Park for a fortnight.

[AustinPowers]

Definitely not!

Btw the likes of Queen, Bowie, Elton, Stones, Beatles and Fleetwood Mac would have sold out Croke Park for a fortnight.

Brooks wasn't allowed 5 nights , so they'd hardly  allow a fortnight for any of those

Did Big Elton ever  play  Croke Park?

Simple minds had a number of 80k gigs at their peak. Monster of a band albeit of their time.

Christy Moore, Take That, Beautiful South, Public Enemy for the list.

Look I'm not telling you you're wrong, because I've no way of knowing.

But I'd expect the only time Simple Minds got to play in front of 80k was at Live Aid.

Why do I expect this?

Because they were a King's Hall in Belfast type band. Even at their peak.
