1. TRAVIS
2. DEL AMITRI
3. RUNRIG
4. THE PROCLAIMERS
5. THE FRATELLIS


How could I forget about Hue and Cry???? They go straight into 2nd place and The Fratellis drop out of the top 5.

Nonsense.

Well, maybe Del Amitri......

I'd say

Hue & Cry
Wet Wet Wet
The Shamen
The Soup Dragons
Arab Strap

1 Bis
2 Bay City Rollers
3 Simple Minds
4 Runrig
5 The Bluebells

Oh aye, I forgot about Bis.

Texas
Danny Wilson
Average White Band
Hue and Cry
and any other mob who played white-eyed soul.

And of course you're right Uberman, a special place for the Bay City Rollers.

deacon blue

wet wet wet

texas

Wet Wet Wet
Travis
Del Amitri
Bay City Rollers
The Fratellis

I'd go with that list there.

McDonald brothers x5

Hue and Cry
Travis
Danny Wilson
Runrig
...and a surprise late entry for the proclaimers, based on their last album.

Biffy Clyro and the Fratellis, can I also include the shouty tuneless crap of Talking Heads seeing as the guy is from Dumbarton.

1. Franz Ferdinand
2. Deacon Blue
3. Del Amitri
4. Blue Nile
5. Hipsway
6. *Horse (bringing up the rear)
7. Texas
8. Biffy Clyro
9. *Carol Laula
10. Love and Money

Ten Scottish acts. If I never hear them again it'll be too soon.

*Seemed to appear in every summer gig your council put on for god knows what reason.

They were bound for number 5 on my list until I remembered the bluebells

1 - Bay City Rollers
2 - El Presidente
3 - The Fratellis
4 - Soup Dragons
5 - Wet Wet Wet

all utter drivel!

What ever happened to them? Complete horseshit they were!

Think the guy reformed Gun

Deacon Blue
Wet Wet Wet
Texas
Runrig
Mcdonald Bros (if they count)

How dare you sir.

My pals brother in law was in Bis

You utter philistine.

OK, I was a bit hasty on that one. I did buy two of their albums after all. It's the faux soul I was going for and they came to mind. I'll substitute Deacon Blue.

Erm, inclusiveness. And it reminds me of another thread, most appropriately named acts.

Another gash outfit.

I thought of adding the Humpff Family to that but stuck at 10 bands.

1. Travis
2. The Fratellis
3. Franz Ferdinand
4. Wet Wet Wet
5. Deacon Blue

Not one person has listed Glasvegas!?!?!?!

Excellent choice, but I would have Biffy Clyro at no 4 instead of the Wets. Never actually heard them, but I hate them because of their name, almost as bad as the "Grim Northern Social". Whatever happened to that bunch of Motherwell tossers?

Ill go for any bands involving flutes, drums and marching!

Deacon Blue
Texas
Travis
Wet Wet Wet
The Fratellis

That's mental. Hats is one of the most underrated albums of all time!

Correct!

Hats is heart-breakingly fantastic.

Too right

No1 by a country mile - Hue and Bloody Cry
Wet Wet Wet
Gun
Texas
Runrig

All bloody awful. First four were part of a weedgie conspiracy to kill music in the late 80's. I will never forgive any of them.

Travis
Simple Minds
Texas
Biffy Clyro
Runrig

The Grim Were Class.

I agree f*ckin hate them but i cant put my finger on why, they just enrage me when i hear the sound puping out and the inevitable(spelling?) barrage or shouting idiots just because the guy has a scottish accent and they can relate?

Totally agree

I downloaded it one night when i was bored. Excellent album.

Anyway, my top five is:

1. Bay City Rollers
2. Del Amitri
3. Travis
4. Pre 1984 Simple Minds
5. Wet Wet Wet

1. The Fratellis
2. Glasvegas
3. Franz ferdinand
4. Travis
5. Idlewild

Biffy are good tho, cant undestand why you guys dont like them?

Gun (although Billy Sloan gets a granite like erection at the slightest mention of them)
Texas
The Fratellis
Runrig
The Shieldhill Young Defenders

Anyone who said Travis is aff their heid

The View
The Fratelli's
The Proclaimers
Paulo Natini
Belle & Sebastian

Spandau Ballet.

They didn't have me fooled.

runrig
deacon blue
wet wet wet
glasvegas
g.u.n.

The Fratellis x 5 - Just f**k off lads eh?

Belle & Sebastian (utter w**k)
The View/The Law/Sergeant
The Fratellis
Speedway
Paolo Nutini

Agreed Sir, only a daft boy could include the AWB. One of the best bands ever to come out of Scotland IMO.

Me neither they are fuckin rank rotten

1. Glasvegas
2. The Silencers
3. Love and Money
4. The Proclaimers (the are pish and i can't believe people like them)
5. The Corries

Cant stand Biffy Clyro, saw them live at t in the park, hands down the worst live performance i have ever seen.

Seen biffy at t in the park aswell an i thot they were pretty good, not ae best like but i heard alot worse that weekend
