    Default Greatest Scottish Band

    After the post on the Runrig thread about them being the "best Scottish band", I'm on the lookout for Scottish Bands to play at work, as only Scottish bands are allowed.

    The Proclaimers, Runrig, Primal Scream, Idelwild, Nazareth, Big Country, Wolfstone, Face the West, Travis, Franz Ferdinand, McCalmans, Mogwai, Biffy, Frattelis are all the Scottish bands I have at present.

    I was running out of ideas so much I even put on Rod Stewart.

    Two questions really. Who would say is the best Scottish Band and also which Scottish band would you recommend.
    I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore

    I agree Bon Scott, Malcolm & Angus Young were Scottish - but being based down under can they be classed as Scottish? Of course I say!.

    In that case is Colin Hay (Men At Work) Scottish or Snow Patrol?

    I interviewed Colin Hay a few weeks back and he is most certainly a Scot. Snow Patrol can go play kerby on the motorway for all I care, but as for AC/DC? Well, if Franz Ferdinand are Scottish then AC/DC ought to have the freedom of the country.
