that being a band, incidentally, that U2 admired a great deal, that influenced them and was influenced by them in turn: Big Country. I'll grant U2 the lyrical edge (especially for their theological depth), but musically I'd take BC over either U2 or Rush.
Remembrance Day
Song of the South
The Storm
In a Big Country

Ne'er heard of 'em. What's wrong with me?
You're not British?
Seriously, BC is probably the prize example of brilliant Scottish/English bands (Runrig would be my #2) who never broke through in the US; over here, they were two-hit wonders ("In a Big Country" and "Look Away"), while in Europe they were big for a couple decades.
I haven't heard of them, either.
Interesting. ;-)
You also are a non-Brit, Houston not exactly being spitting distance from Manchester . . . :)
