It set me to thinking about how may fab scottish bands there were in the 80s. I've just spent hours on youtube reminiscing :D
How about:
Love & Money (Dogs in the Traffic has to be one of the best albums ever)
Orange Juice (and Edwyn Collins)
Win (if anyone has a link to Super Popoid Grove I would be eternally grateful!!! LOL)
Blue Nile
Hipsway
Danny Wilson
Goodnight Mr MacKenzie (yes saw them acouple of several times before Shirley Manson & John Duncan hit the big time...Garbage & Nirvana respectively)
Hue & Cry
Deacon Blue
Runrig
Big Country
Simple Minds
Eurythmics
Wet Wet Wet (one of the few bands of any note to have played Largs...but before they had a record deal! - they were pretty ropey and the crowd consisted of me and about 20 mates taking the mick LOL )
Texas
Fruits of Passion (great Edinburgh girl band - again any links to any of their songs much appreciated!)
I also found this on a Firefly site
The Browncoats Prayer
OUR JOSS,
Who art in Hollywood, Whedon be thy name.
Thy ideas come, and will be done
On film as they are in Comic Books.
Give us someday a little more Serenity,
And deliver us from Reality Television.
For thine is the Wit, the Wisdom,
And the Imagination
Forever and ever,
AMEN.
Love it!!!
