Scottish rock band Simple Minds released their seventh studio album, Once Upon a Time, on the heels of their breakout hit, ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me).’ That track was the band’s first to chart in the U.S. and it made it all the way to #1, an ironic achievement given that they had little interest in recording the song in the first place.
The band chose to leave the hit song (which was released on the soundtrack of The Breakfast Club) off of their next album, but the anthemic pop sound of the tune was present throughout this great collection.
