Simple Minds

One of my all time favorite albums is by them.Street Fighting Years.I very much doubt you have listened to it.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Lovely Day - Bill Withers

Sorry, I know I'm being very Victor Meldrew on this thread but there's nothing "average" about his immortal Lean On Me, or even his Grandma's Hands.

 

[Trufflehound]

Alive and Kicking - Simple Minds

Wouldn't call them average. They went a bit stadium-wank in the end, but along the way they had at least one truly great album (Sons and Fascination) and several very good ones (Sparkle in the Rain, New Gold Dream, Sister Feelings Call, Life in a Day, and a couple of others).

 

[Simster]

Do Nine Inch Nails count as average, or are they better than that:

YouTube - Nine Inch Nails - Head Like a Hole

If they're average then this one deserves an airing I think:
