Oh I say! Great shout there from The Exile. How good is tht Fisherman's Blues Album?! I think I'm gonna have to turf it out & stick it on now. Brilliant stuff.

Baycity Rollers were fab, dont make them like that anymore.

 

[Austrian Gull]

Some great shouts so far - would have to go along with Aztec Camera, The Associates, Deacon Blue, Orange Juice and Lloyd Cole and the Commotions.

Not sure if anyone's mentioned Bronski Beat yet. This was a brilliant song.

I'm still in madly in love with Shirley Manson. Sadly she doesn't seem to feel the same way about me.

[The Buttery Biscuit Base]

These Chaps are quite good, though I doubt many would agree with me...


Biffy Clyro are not only (in my opinion) Scotland's best bands but one of the worlds best bands I have ever seen, live they are incredible!
