Top 5 Jock Bands

 

1. Teenage Fanclub

2. Cosmic Rough Riders

3. Primal Scream

4. Travis

5. Soup Dragons

 

 

None of that Deacon Blue, Simple Minds or Del Amitri crap.

I was going to produce a long list of worthy Scotch bands, but none of them would seriously challenge most of those you mentioned, although I'd have to exchange Travis with Belle & Sebastian.

6. Big Country

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Replace Soup Dragons with Embrace too!

7. Nazareth - didn't realise they were sweaties!

[EFM's Librarian]

Weren't 'Big star' Scottish? (cue Trev's story about Alex Chilton)

[Little Miss Urchin]

Who were the tartan-clad lot?

[CANV EFM]

bay city rollers

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Well, even they're preferable to Deacon Blue or Del Amitri!!

 

 

[Little Miss Urchin]

I wasn't around when they were hot on the scene.

[CANV EFM]

proclaimers?

WHAT?!?!?! You are kidding me aren't you??? Belle and Sebastian are okay to listen to if you've just split up with someone, or had a majorly depressing event happen in your life, but they don't compare to Travis. I'd say that Travis' first album is a masterpiece! Belle & Sebastian on the other hand tend to produce a lot of pretentious w@nk! (excluding the 'Fold your hands child..." album and the 'Legal Man' single).

Sorry, but that's just my opinion!

'If you're feeling sinister' and 'The boy with the Arab strap' are quality albums, okay so you wouldn't put them on at a party, but you need music for all occasions.

 

BTW, don't ever end criticism or praise with 'but that's just my opinion' its a very American thing to do - we know its your opinion, you wouldn't be saying it otherwise <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

[Chubbhead EFM]

Well I wasn't going to, but I was feeling fairly humble!

 

And anyway, how do you know it's not my opinion?! I could be being made to type this by some madman!

I wondered what had happened to EFMTFTV today <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

[Colin Zeal EFM]

I was thinking it was more likely to be Fran Healy!!

 

 

[Chubbhead EFM]

If Fran Healy was in my house, I wouldn't be spending my time posting on here <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

 

Oh- I bought that Live Forever film on DVD yesterday and all I can say is that Damon Albarn comes across as such a c*ck. At one point he starts playing with a ukelely (don't know how to spell it).Noel and Liam G, on the other hand are the stars of the show!

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Yeah, I heard that. It's been highly recommended to me. £15 on Amazon - I feel a purchase coming!!

Average White Band?

[Chubbhead EFM]

The funniest bit in the film has to be when there's this music biz bloke sitting in the Good Mixer pub and says, in all seriousness "Menswear, Elastica, Sleeper- a lot of significant bands hung out here..." I almost pissed myself laughing!
