Best Simple Minds Songs

The Top Ten
Don't You (Forget About Me)

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.

Alive and Kicking

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.

Belfast Child

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.

Sanctify Yourself

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.

Someone Somewhere (In Summertime)

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!

All the Things She Said

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.

Promised You a Miracle

Bass, guitar, vocals - the business! Ethereal Young Jimmy and little Charlie. The undoubted best Simple Minds track. 1983 live Pinkfest - love it!

Waterfront

Great song. Played live, there's nothing better.

Glittering Prize

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.

Up On the Catwalk

For all the great songs they produced, this is by far their best song. A perfect masterpiece! Go listen!

The Newcomers

? First You Jump
? Cry
The Contenders
New Gold Dream

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.

Ghost Dancing

Fantastic song - great sung live!

Let There Be Love
Once Upon a Time
Chelsea Girl
See the Lights
Hunter and the Hunted

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!

I Wish You Were Here
Mandela Day

Iconic - does not receive the recognition it deserves.

Love Song

The first Simple Minds tune I ever heard, Love Song still sounds good today (unlike the rest of their songs).

Hypnotised

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!

Home

Honestly, this is their best song. I fell in love when I heard it.

When I am sick, I play this single every time.

Theme for Great Cities

Simple Minds do have some great tracks, but this one is timeless.

Real Life

Killer song from beginning to end. It deserves a top ten spot at least. This is quintessential Simple Minds.

Come a Long Way

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.
