Jock-Rock: best bands from Scotland

Now Scotland is a country that has produced some great artists over the last 50 years.

Obviously, I know who they are and can name them without Googl/Cheating - but can you?


Well? D'ye no ken, cunt?

 

Orange Juice.

 

I like Travis.

 

Bay City Rollers, Wet Wet Wet, Delgados, Bert Jansch fer a start.

 

The Pastels, camera obscura, blue nile, jesus and mary chain were also great, but possibly the best has to be..

 

Mogwai

 

Simple Minds, Big Country, Love & Money, Travis, Texas, and of course The Proclaimers

 

Cocteau twins
Mogwai
Errors

My 3 faves, prob

 

Boards of Canada.

 

Great call, completely forgot them

 

Not really a fan myself but The Incredible String Band were considered pretty influential in their day

 

Lol. You liked them?!!! Why am I not surprised.

 

"Not really a fan myself"...

See what I mean? You're not very bright

 

You know you like them.

 

I don't but it'd be about 1/1000 as absurd as liking Styx

 

I never said I liked Styx. By the way, I read your message clearly. I was just messing with you because it seemed important to you that people not think you liked the incredible string band.

 

It might be the most important thing in history!

 

One of three Glasgow bands kurt cobain named as his fave in the world, weirdly. Maybe the mutual influence of perpetual rain

 

BMX Bandits, Teenage Fanclub and The Vaselines? I think that's right.

 

Angus and His Wee Tossels were a good band from Aberdeen back in the day

 

Nothing good of any description has ever come out of Aberdeen

 

Aberdeen's okay! (?)
Spent a few times up there back in 2010-12

 

That actress you like grew up there

 

Super furry animals?

 

Welsh. Primal scream were from here tho (possible source of confusion?)
