Definitely Deacon Blue, my favourite band of all time. Real Gone Kid is my all time favourite song. I have already suggested Dignity be played at my funeral. Don't know what it is about Ricky Ross's voice, sounds quite hoarse but makes very good use of it.
A 1991 Gallup survey indicated that 49 percent of Americans didn't know that white bread is made from wheat.

I am living for today, always remembering yesterday, and looking forward to tomorrow!
The Skids, Days in Europa album is a classic.
Loved Nazareth - as a spotty kid in 70`s.
SAHB - Version of Boston Tea Party on OGWT Superb.
James King and the Lone Wolves - Guitar pub/blues/rock band from Glasgow early 80`s. Heard their version of "It wasn`t me" on John Peel one night. Never heard it bettered.

In order in terms of bands that folks have heard of: Ossian, The Battlefield Band, Simple Minds, Nik Kershaw (ok he's not really a band I know but his early stuff was really good), Marillion
If you've not heard Ossian but you like folk, do check them out, I think they were that good.
