Favourite Scottish Band/Musician

[Answerprancer]

As it's St Andrews day.

What's your favourite Scottish band / Musician / piece of music ?
Feel free to discuss further if you like.

Mine:

The Cocteau Twins, Biffy Clyro, The Fratellis, Shooglenifty.

The Cocteau Twins were the first band I heard that use their own made up language, I love Liz Fraser's vocals and she has a lovely gentle way about her in the rare interviews I've seen. I have a few of their CDs - Bluebell Knoll and Four Calendar Cafe are my favourites.

Biffy Clyro and The Fratellis are relatively new on the music scene but think they're both great bands. My fav tracks by them: Fratellis: Flathead, BC: The Captain.

Shooglenifty are a folk/rock band, brilliant musicians, very uplifting stuff. I've seen them twice, the first time at WOMAD, second at Glastonbury.

Dris, I find it really hard to read your posts, sorry :-(

Susan Boyle - bless her ! I have to admit, though I appreciate she has a fantastic voice, it's not really my 'scene'.
It's great to see an otherwise ordinary wifie making it big like this.

Naz -doesnt surprise me :(
Give you a tip dont bother answering my posts if either I get 'icba' or 'I dont understand your post'.
I'm still not as stupid as you think and i would rather you didnt post than post in the negative on a frivlous thread.
Comprenendez? Bien:)

[NazNomad]

Chillax sweety, nobody implied you were stupid.

The formatting of your text makes it difficult for me to read, nothing more.

Maybe I'm stupid then?

Must space better in future for those who are hard of reading -could have c &p but I chose to share my experiences -prize divvy....(thats me)
