benny Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Teenage Fanclub every house should have a copy of bandwagonesque! Why.You would be better getting Big Star record #1 instead.

Darren Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Travis and Texas. Both crap, but successful. Idlewild and The Exploited are the only two major Scottish bands I've seen live. I actually enjoyed the latter more, despite being a bigger fan of the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moncs Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 The Craigneuk True Defenders Flute Band was a superb band in the late 1970's. I was born and brought up in Craigneuk, my uncle used to play the Big Drum for them and my cousin does it nowadays. U from through there mate?

Boris Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Given the recent trend, initially started by the Daily Record iirc, to take as our own anyone with the merest whiff of Caledonia about them, I'm surprised no one has mmentioned Talking Heads yet, what with David Byrne being born in Dumbarton and all that.

jambovambo Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 The discussion stops here I'm afraid. It has to be The Average White Band. Utterly fantastic. Liquid Rooms, 20th May - going ?

Can't help thinking us Scots have a tendency to revere any old crap which just happens to be from Scotland as well. Can't think of any other reason why people would still be talking about pish like Hue and Cry or Deacon Blue! Good shout for Talking Heads though!

I P Knightley Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Angus & Malcolm Young were from Glasgow while Bon Scott hailed from Perthshire. They wouldn't claim themselves to be Scottish, though. And there's little wrong with Deacon Blue. An interesting variety of music - you can't pigeonhole them; reasonable melodies & harmonies; some smart lyrics and very good live. Not a favourite band of mine but I see no reason to dismiss them as rubbish. Del Amitri - now they were the dogs in their time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tazio Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 They wouldn't claim themselves to be Scottish, though. There is a great live clip on the Family Jewels DVD of them wearing Scotland strips on stage and Bon kicking balls into the audience.

Years ago i was lucky enough to meet Malcolm Young and i can assure you he is VERY! much Scottish, nice guy but i would not like to get on the wrong side of him hard as nails.

Absolutely brilliant. Saw them live in about 1996 and saw Paul Buchanan a couple of times when he toured in the last couple of years. Their albums are absolutely special. Hats is in my top few albums ever. I like Kevin McDermott too, but only have Mother Nature's Kitchen. Should get some more of his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
