Most Scottish Band ever?
I'm proud to be English. I wish more English people were.
But I have always been fascinated by all things Scotland. I have seen many Scottish bands down the years-Runrig, Big Country, The Rezillos, The Exploited and many more.
Some bands could be any nationality. But some could only be Scottish.
I used to think that The Proclaimers were the ultimate Scottish band. Here is an example:-

But there is 1 Band that are even more Scottish. Ever wondered what Scottish Grime might sound like:-

Alestorm are the ultimate festival opener. From dressing up as a pirate, to singing along to some truly disgusting lyrics (try "**** with an anchor"). Gloriously inappropriate. And fun. They are certainly not the greatest Scottish band. But they might be the most Scottish.

Big country came to mind the second I saw the title.
Decade 77-87 - a grown up disco: new wave, punk, postpunk, goth & indie.
BIG COUNTRY - WINTER SKY.
B-side of 1985 single 'Just A Shadow', fan favourite WINTER SKY is a starry-eyed gem of a song but one that's often overlooked.
Haunting with simple guitar and minimal percussion, Stuart Adamson's lyrics map the time between birth and death against the aeons of changing seasons.
The stories of the world are sung
In places that were never young
I have counted every one
All the clouds will come to you
So the sun never comes through
And we will hide
From twenty years of winter sky
The faces of the world are hung
In places I was never born
Some will smile while others moan
All the clouds will come to you
So the sun never comes through
And we will hide
From twenty years of winter sky
Pictures of the world are shown
In places I have never known
Who will know who shaped the stone
All the clouds will come to you
So the sun never comes through
And we will hide
From twenty years of winter sky
Still it turns and says to me
In words that come uneasily
Answers are not meant to be
All the clouds will come to you
So the sun never comes through
And we will hide
From twenty years of winter sky.
