Big Country: The Crossing (1983)


I am half Scottish, so there has to be (more) Scottish music in the collection. I have to say that by the end of 1983, I was sick to death of this album's lead-off track, In a Big Country. It was a repeat of my hatred of Our House by Madness the year before. Both songs were overplayed and I got so very very tired of them. It didn't help that a friend of mine kept playing this song over and over and over again. I think this type of torture could be a new area of exploration. If we ever need a new method of inquiry to replace waterboarding, the repetition of certain hit songs could prove promising.
