Off subject (somewhat).
I have a real thing for Scottish bands. Don't know why. But some of my favorite albums are by Scots:
!. The Proclaimers - Sunshine on Leith
2. Del Amitri - self-titled debut
3. Teenage Fanclub - Bandwagonesque
and there are several others. Is there something in the water?

Yeah, those are great bands... especially The Proclaimers, really really original. You forgot to mention...
The Sensational Alex Harvey Band...amazing rock sound, great entertainment, The Impossible Dream and Tommorrow belongs to me are both great .
Dick Gaughan... if you haven't heard of him, buy HANDFUL OF EARTH now! He's a folk singer who's a bit political, anti-thatcher, anti-media (sounds a bit like someone else)...great great man.
Wet Wet Wet... great voice on Marti Pellow, string of excellent hits (popped in souled out is their best album)...sweet little mystery, angel eyes, wishing i was lucky.
Travis...don't be shocked (or berate me), they are a bit poppy, but I think they've got a really good sound. The Man Who is a good album, a lot of people feel suicidal when they hear it though.
Mull Historical Society... bit of a new band, just one guy songwriting and playing all the instruments.. he's really talented, check out Loss.
