I have a story to tell...When I was at High School, the Library had a day diaplaying Music (of course most of it was of the time, 1984). Someone was complaining and having a vocal fit that his AC/DC bandana was near my Big Country record - detailing, it was the 2 disc UK edition of "Wonderland." Yeah, it was that pathetic. I have a feeling that elsewhere in the world, both bands were seen as the same, Good down to earth Rock and Roll (True, with BC, it had more depth, but you know what I mean), but in the US, Big Country were seen as "New Wave." (I may be a little wrong, but that was how I saw it.) It's stupid how a genre name and how the company promotes a band changes everything.
