    Steeltown and The Seer were my favourites by Big Country but thought they went downhill after those.

    Talking of 808 State, the 80s spawned acid house which pretty much influenced every thing in the charts and clubs these days.

    Steeltown was always my favourite, closely followed by The Crossing.

    Saw them live a number of times in the 80's, great band live.

    Saw that, only 61. She'd had health problems for a lot of years. Sad.
