1 - Yes
1a - one hit wonder? not sure...
1b - No clue
Yes, they are one of the most under-rated rock bands of all time! Big Country Rocks!!! I should know, I have all of their albums. Every song is a hit! Stewart Adamson was a lyrical god! Big Country forever!!!!
Hey, I'd sure like to meet that last guy!
Sockpuppets are SO lame, Daddy Doc.
SERIOUSLY.
OMG. I can't believe I let you sleep with me.
Never heard of them.
Song sounded familiar as in 'from the early 80s' - but I'm not sure if it was the actual song, or the 'sound'.
without using google...
1. yes
1a. two
1b. um "(in a) big country" and something else I don't recall
2. yes
2a. I think the other hit I remember was "look away"
hahahahahahahaha!!! love the sockpuppet.
although I have to agree, Big Country totally rocks, they're Scottish, and there's something very rock-y about folks from Scotland.

1) no
2) no
2a) 0 - not sure by the titles, I'd have to hear the songs themselves
auntie Doc probably forwarded this to me because I am music freak or for other reason that I still have to figure out but did you know thayt Big Country has reunited and actually had a couple of new CD's in UK in the pastr two years? I am not sure if they are available here. The answer to your question will wvary depending on your definition of hits. They had over 10 hits in UK charts but I believe had only a couple may be 3 (did wonderland chart?) in US. there is a distinct scottish sound to them.
Auntie Doc - does your anonymous friend know that "The Lyrical God" Died? So they technically can't reunite...
I've heard of Big Country in that I know they're a musical band, but I couldn't tell you anything else about them.
