Default In a Big Country..

..dreams stay with you.

I was just watching a video of Big Country singing "In a Big Country" with an odd little video filmed in Corfe Castle, Swanage and at Dancing Ledge.

It's interesting that a relatively small country has had such a prolific musical output. Some famous bands hailing from the UK:

Led Zep, Queen, Motorhead, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, the Beatles, Stones, Duran Duran (?), Bowie, Cream, Simple Minds, Iggy Pop, Sex Pistols, the Jam (yay!), The Clash, Joy Division, Depeche Mode, the Smiths, the Kinks, Pink Floyd, Dire Straits, Stone Roses, Genesis, Oasis, Radiohead, the Who, BeeGees, Black Sabbath, Happy Mondays, Housemartins, UB40, Madness, Wham!, Adam and the Ants, Chemical Bros, the Shamen, the Damned, Bananarama, Flock of Seagulls, Soft Cell, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Simply Red...

Who did I miss?

Wow, I think all of my old favourites are there. Obviously some, like the Beatles, I knew were from the UK. But many others, I didn't know.

Ah... Deep Purple... Nights in White Satin... memories...

Sorry, I thought I had the Kinks. We've also got Status Quo (that's for you, mum).

Freddie and the Dreamers, and those blokes who played with Cliff Richard.
Rick Astley. Proclaimers. Communards.

The Shadows. Just remembered.

What did France have? Apart from that chick who sang Joe Le Taxi.
And Jon Michel Jarre. Germany had Nina and her underarm hair. And Kraftwerk.

Jozin z Bazin - this is a Polish song about a swamp monster who eats tourists before being defeated by a crop duster. The dancing really makes this video.

France: Stereolab, Serge Gainsbourg. Joe Le Taxi was by Vanessa Paradis.
Belgium: Only 1 I can think of is Plastic Bertrand (Ca Plan Pour Moi).

Kudos for Stereolab. I used to fap to one of their songs.
