Guest Ancient Mariner Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 That's one vote for the Cocteau Twins. Pity they would be ashamed to be called Scottish, as they said Scotland was a "toilet". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HummerOfIntenseEvil Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 I've never understood why AC/DC are never described as a Scottish band, considering Malcolm and Angus Young were both born in Glasgow, and Bon Scott was from Forfar.

jester1470 Posted October 23, 2004 Report Share Posted October 23, 2004 snow patrol arent scottishThey were formed in Dundee, so its a difficult one to say whether that makes them Scottish based. This is an arguement we've been having on another forum I'm on, I think its fair to say, that as a band who were formed in Scotland and built up on the Scottish scene then they are a Scottish Band made up of Irish poeple, sounds a fair compromise.
