What say you?

Primal Scream

Belle & Sebastian apparently.

I have lots of Scottish bands albums but I don't have any of their entire collection.

Primal Scream some gold hidden among some shite IMO.

I think the summary of the Scream covers most Scottish bands.

The new albums by Deacon Blue & Travis sound quite good from what I've heard of them.

Teenage Fanclub have to be up there!

PatReilly · 11/10/2016 8:23 pm

Sensational Alex Harvey Band.

Jesus and Mary Chain closest of the rest.

Tek · 11/10/2016 10:03 pm

Fanclub for me.

Closely followed by Delgados and Mogwai.

Early Primal Scream were fucking brilliant.They lost it though.

Simple Minds were one of the biggest bands in the world for a long time...

Not the coolest around but Deacon Blue and Hue & Cry were favourites of mine. Still listen to their first two albums.

Again i like early Simple Minds.

Followed by Arab Strap.

Primal Scream had 3 good albums the rest of their stuff is meh.

Mind Alex used to wear hooped tops, often one was tangerine and black:

Made them even better, in my view!

Mind I had a hooped top like the one Alex had on the cover of an album.

Wore it even when it was full of moth holes

Love Chvrches first album, not got around to listening to their newer stuff yet. Not listened to Idlewild for ages either - was obsessed with 100 Broken Windows when it came out.
