Simple Minds started in 1977 I believe, maybe the other bands were influenced by them?

They all came later.
 
Saw them in the arms park in 89 , still think the early albums were the best although once upon a time and real life were superb albums also , people back then seemed to be split between U2 and simple minds , I always preferred simple minds , only U2 album I liked was achtung baby

Went to that. Far from my favourite band, but throughly enjoyable. Jim Kerr is a great frontman.
