Scotland's Greatest Album.


Palace of Swords

Recommended Posts

Pat Nevin has always had impeccable taste in music, I remember him getting interviewed in the NME or Melody Maker back in the 80's, he's big on The Smiths as well!

Funnily enough I listed to 'Psychocandy' yesterday and it would probably top my list if I was into the list thingy which I am not. They are as pointless as chocolate fireguards and Phil Collins combined...

Here's the list of the 80's nominees. Some pretty good choices and some of the usual suspects.

A comment on the STV website has me in stiches.

they discussed including a wet's song for the eighties and decided not to , they will probably include them for the wedding song in the 90's programme next week

Some right dodgy choices on last night's one...especially the inclusion of Proclaimers and Waterboys for the 90s, despite both songs being originally released in the 80s. And I don't really think Garbage were a Scottish band except Shirley Manson. Good calls on Teenage Fanclub and Cocteau Twins. Where was Mogwai and Arab Strap? I'd have also have had The Supernaturals...love their first album!

THE SHAMEN!

I fucking loved The Shamen when they first came out. I'm not going to listen to Move Any Mountain for fear of it being totally shit. It was brilliant when I was about 10.
