I made a thread about this band a month ago. They got a semi decent reception. Now that it's been a bit, and there are new people, so I thought I'd repost it. They are one of my favorite bands.

Big Country was an 80s Rock/New Wave band. They had a unique sound. They simulated Scottish Folk Instruments with their guitars. I haven't really seen anyone suggesting them. They would be great for Rock Band. Their songs are mainly Guitar, Bass, Drums, And singing, and they were good in all of the,. I think they'd add a good amount of variety in the game.

Here are some of their songs

In a Big Country

Of course, as I've said before: In a Big Country is one of my faves... So I'll go with that one! =)

Hey. I remember you from the last thread. Nice to see you.

This thread seems to get less attention than the idiot threads.

I'm bumping this because I really want this band to be recognized. They are incredibly underrated. This is a nice break from all the overrated stuff that's been posted on these forums.

What do you consider 'overrated'?

Bands that are more popular than they deserve to be.

A bit of considering something overrated is subjective though.
