wow salad, henry, badger - what a corking mixtape your selections would create....

i would only add a song from one of my most played records of the past coupla years:

bill wells & aidan moffat - everythings getting older featuring that aching beauty, "the copper top" - not heard it? RUSH to you tube NOW!

The Krankies - Fan Dabi Dozi

Friend Or Defoe

The entire Screamadelica album.

PragueAddick

Surprised to learn that Primal Scream are from Glasgow.

Anyone know what the Blue Nile may be up to? I know we generally have to wait 18 years between albums...

Algarveaddick

Take a Trip - Shakin' Pyramids

killerandflash

A couple of bands not mentioned yet

Travis - Writing to reach you
Del Amitri - Nothing ever happens

iainambler

New Gold Dream - Simple Minds

Stig

I can't argue with any of those bands Salad, though I might go for a few different tracks.

Stig

Primal Scream - probably Loaded or maybe Country Girl
Fratellis - Shameless (though no doubt Chelsea Dagger is more famous)
Strawberry Switchblade - Trees & Flowers
Lloyd Cole - Lost Weekend
Simple Minds - Glittering Prize
and for Belle & Sebastian it would absolutely have to be Stars of Track & Field for the Commonwealth Games.

Stone the Crows...... Maggie Bell, one of the UK's best ever singers, Jimmy Dewar who was in Robin Trower's band.......
The rest of the band were not too bad as well!

Went to see them here at the end of Feb. Was really surprised how great it was. Talk about a career that goes full circle and then starts off on another round.

2009's "Graffiti Soul' album was a cracking return to form.

Salad

good calls Stig, I'm not big on Primal Scream tbh - my favourite is actually "I'm Losing More Than I Ever Had" which Weatherall subsequently transformed into Loaded

Eddie Firmani

Penicillin Blues. Can still hear Maggie asking me (and nobody else of course) to insert my needle.

PeakieRocket

Kick to Kill - a new band for Glasgow worth checking out

Rock Spectacle

The Real McCoy - The Silencers - vastly underrated band.

shirty5

Primal Scream - Rocks
Frank Ferdinand - Darts of Pleasure
Texas - Say what you want

AddickUpNorth

Were Gun from Glasgow? If so 'Taking On The World'.

Vinnie V.

Mogwai,

boogica

Waterfront - simple minds
Love song - simple minds

Anything by - simple minds

Brilliant live band.

The Bathers - Fancy Dress

i was aware of the album, however, not convinced by his voice, seems theatrical/twee, and the songs seem a shade forced, sorreee, i know the album has a good following...whereas bill wells & aidan moffat are very real.
