Simple Minds's debut album, Life in a Day (Zoom, 1979), took a cue from fellow Post-punk forebears Magazine, and was somewhat self-consciously derivative of the late-70s punk boom, with AOR crossover potential not unlike that of The Cars. While still categorisable as 'rock', Simple Minds' second release, Real to Real Cacophony, had a darker edge. A rock band from Scotland, Simple Minds had its greatest worldwide popularity from the mid-1980s to the early-1990s. Over the years, Simple Minds have secured a string of successful hit singles, the best known being its number one worldwide hit single "Don't You (Forget About Me)"
