Sorry, something went wrong. Current track: The AmericanThe American. On 1st November 2019, Simple Minds released 40: THE BEST OF 1979-2019, a new compilation album that covers all 40 years of the bands now legendary recording career. It captures their early experimentation, cross over chart successes, right up to their new imperial phase represented by songs from 2015s Big Music and last years Walk Between Worlds, which was their highest chart success in over 20 years, charting at number 4 in the UK. Compiled in conjunction with the band, 40: THE BEST OF presents the very best of Simple Minds extensive catalogue. His change of heart gave Simple Minds their only American chart-topper, and the song later became an international hit as well however, Kerr's feelings about the song remained ambivalent, and it did not appear on the follow-up album, Once Upon a Time. The album went gold and reached the U. Top Ten in spite of criticism for its bombastic, over the top approach. A live album and the uncompromisingly political Street Fighting Year. Don't You Forget About Me
