Talk:Big Country

message: I actually wish that WP would just outlaw any entry pertaining to popular music! I have yet to come across a single WP entry for any band, album, pop song or genre that isn't filled with fan-boi maunderings, slobbering sentimentality and "he said-she said" claptrap that probably wouldn't pass muster for the editors of "Tiger Beat." This article is a case in point. Nothing even attempts to move in the direction of "NPOV," everything's about how someone "feels" about this and that. "Considered one of the best..." "generally acknowledged to be the low-point..." blah-blah-blah. Just pull the whole d*mn thing down and burn it! Sheesh! B. Polhemus (talk) 06:39, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

message: "Wonderland" one of Big Country's finest songs? I beg to differ and I'm sure many others would too. Listen to the "The Crossing" and "Steeltown" LP's and then "Wonderland". For me "Wonderland" is more like a Big Country pastiche. Sure, it has that unmistakable Big Country "sound" but as far as I can recall (sorry, it's been 20 years since I had these records) nearly every track on the two aforementioned albums has more going for it than "Wonderland".
Notwithstanding my comments above, many thanks to the author of this article for taking the trouble to create it. I'm now looking forward to reading the rest of it.80.225.0.249 13:15, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've rewritten the sentence to indicate that "some critics" feel the song is one of their best, with citations.  "Generally considered" is a weasel word phrase.  BTW, I completely disagree with you.  I think "Wonderland" is a great song and (the few) Big Country fans I've met have said they feel the same way.Hal Raglan 19:57, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Cheers Hal, the Wonderland ep is one of our fave records of all time. The "Wonderland" song is one of the high points of the notorious live New Years video. On the EP, Mark B's drumming is always incredible, but on Angle Park, he's on fire more than his usual self. I speak for many friends, Dave Hayes of Very Small Records loves Wonderland.

message: I'm finding it very hard to find out when Pete Wishart was in Big Country. This article suggests only 1981, but I suspect it was longer. Was he ever in any of their recordings?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.130.135 (talk) 12:51, 25 March 2019 (UTC)

message: The lineup included a keyboard player at the Peace concert in East Berlin on June 18th 1988, unlisted in the article. 99% sure it’s not Pete Wishart. Can anyone shed light on this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wrojVnpqdQ. 2.28.8.125 (talk) 16:03, 8 November 2022 (UTC)
