Shock! In A Big Country has amazing energy, cool double-tracked vocals, excellent singalong lyrics, and intense electric guitars that sound like bagpipes blowing the walls down on some poor sucker's kingdom. Of course, Big Country were a Scottish band. The video is great as well, back when more effort was put into music videos and MTV meant MUSIC television. Now it's a bunch of stupid reality shows, or so I imagine (I don't have MTV and I don't want it...it might make me pull my head up off the floor and come up screaming!) I'm still bummed about Stuart Adamson. Even though this is probably the only song I really know by him, he should still be alive somewhere, still singing this fantastic song.
