Best Simple Minds Songs
One of the best songs ever made.
The greatest Simple Minds song.
Even today, it sounds fantastic. The pubs come alive when it's played.
Much as I like Breakfast Club and Don't You Forget About Me, this is an incredible song. Robin Clark's vocals are amazing, and the video has some of the prettiest scenery you will ever see. This song represents everything great about '80s music.
I have liked this song since the first time I heard it. The song is on my iPhone, and I also have the video.
Simple Minds' number one song. Believe me, it's such a brilliant song.
Great song. Don't You Forget About Me is catchy, Waterfront is a fantastic anthem, and Alive and Kicking is probably a close second to this one. For me, it doesn't get much better than this song. Someday we're gonna tear the old town down!
Brilliant song. I think Glittering Prize should be on this list as well.
An amazing and somewhat underrated track that's arguably even better live. Say it quietly, but it's better than "Don't You...". Crank it up in the car and be transported back to 1985.
Their best song from their best album. This is the number one song!
Simply put, a wonderful song. Sounds so unique!
Never get bored of this song. It's inspiring!
Damn, it's sad to know that this song isn't number one!
Really should be much higher. Top 5, in my opinion.
This song rocks! Even more than Don't You.
Bass, guitar, vocals - the business! Ethereal Young Jimmy and little Charlie. The undoubted best Simple Minds track. 1983 live Pinkfest - love it!
Great song. Played live, there's nothing better.
A couple of years ago, when I was as down as I have ever been in my life and thinking silly thoughts, for whatever reason, I switched over to the Red Button. Lo and behold, there was Simple Minds doing their Acoustic Gig. I watched it over and over again until it was off air.
Glittering Prize is my No. 1, See The Lights No. 2, and New Gold Dream No. 3. I then went out and bought their new CD. Jim Kerr, Charlie Burchill, and the band don't know that their gig saved my life. God bless Simple Minds. Thank you, Jim Kerr.

For all the great songs they produced, this is by far their best song. A perfect masterpiece! Go listen!
The Newcomers
This is my favorite song of all time. I first heard it on Radio One in the late '80s and bought the album the day after. It's brilliant live too.
Like any song on New Gold Dream, just great.
Still great live. This one grooves.
Fantastic song - great sung live!
Best Simple Minds song ever. I never get sick of this song. All-time fave of any band.
Best song and my all-time favorite (of all artists, not just Simple Minds) since 1982 - especially the dreamtime mix.
An earlier song from the "New Gold Dream" album, very catchy and melodic. There is a remix out there which is amazing!
Iconic - does not receive the recognition it deserves.
The first Simple Minds tune I ever heard, Love Song still sounds good today (unlike the rest of their songs).
Honestly, this is their best song. I fell in love when I heard it.
When I am sick, I play this single every time.
This is pure epicness. The beginning of the song is great. I just wonder how it didn't make it to the top 10 because it totally deserves it. Probably one of my favorite songs from Simple Minds.
This is absolutely great. The lyrics, guitar sound, and Jim's voice are something out of this world.
Slide guitar like none other. Best song by far!
Killer song from beginning to end. It deserves a top ten spot at least. This is quintessential Simple Minds.
Simple Minds do have some great tracks, but this one is timeless.
This one's so catchy and powerful that it definitely deserves to skyrocket to the top 10 beyond any reasonable doubt. Such a great example of what this band is capable of.
