Scottish Bands - your favourites or not so favourites.

[Pavilionaire]

Another vote for The Proclaimers and a big vote for Lloyd Cole & The Commotions. The late 80s were the halcyon days for Scottish music, I was at Uni in Dundee and Deacon Blue were at their Peak, also Simple Minds, The Blue Nile, Hue & Cry. Happy days...

 

[Robbie G]

Biffy Clyro of course

Biffy Clyro are pretty damn good, seeing them support Foo Fighters this weekend

Biffy for sure.

Went to Helsinki last weekend to see them (well, a guy called Dave Grohl was performing there as well but that is not the most important part). Joking appart - Foo's were great too.

Marychain, fanclub, idlewild, associates, orange juice all played a part in my youth ! can the cocteaus be classed as scottich ?

I think they perished in a heatwave innit.


ps Another vote for The Blue Nile & 'A Walk Across The Rooftops'. What an extaordinary album. I particularly loved From Rags To Riches & Stay, but I can't really listen to them any more as they are both guaranteed to make me weep buckets.

 

[Ecosse Exile]

The Waterboys
