The Jesus And Mary Chain

 

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

 

Orange Juice

 

That's about it as far as I'm concerned. Scottish bands in the main are dreadful.

The Craigneuk True Defenders Flute Band was a superb band in the late 1970's. ;)

My personal favourites would be the Beta Band

 

Sadly no longer together, although the Aliens have sorted have carried on the torch, in producing genre crossing alternative indie music.

Jesus and Mary Chain would have to be right up there....along with the Skids.

 

 

 

 

No-one mentioned the Bay City Rollers yet? :peepwall:

Based on weeks at number one, The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards must be in with a shout.

I quite liked Big Country, Win, Hipsway, the Silencers etc We seemed to have a few decent bands in the 80s.

My first thought was for Primal Scream, but I'd probably go for The Jesus and Mary Chain, big influence on me in my late teens.

 

No mention for The View from the kids who don't remember The Average White Band or the glut of top Scottish talent from the late 80's?

 

No I've changed my mind...

 

THE KLF

 

You might as well close the thread now.
