Musicians and Bands From Scotland
I had no clue so many of these were Scottish!
They've wooed us with their words and sounds. But did you realize so many of these groups or singers had a Scot or two amongst their ranks? I love the 70s and 80s, so this is heavy on those decades. This is not supposed to capture those bands we fully know were Scottish or we'd otherwise have a lot of content going. Some of the bands may have non-Scots but we will notate who the Scot was. This is fun:
- AC/DC (Bon Scott)
- Altered Images
- Annie Lennox of the Eurythmics
- Average White Band
- Aztec Camera
- Bay City Rollers
- Belle and Sebastian
- Blue Nile
- Bronski Beat (singer Jimmy Somerville / Steve Bronski - keyboard)
- Cocteau Twins
- Dire Straits (lead singer Mark Knopfler)
- Franz Ferdinand (formed in Glasgow)
- Garbage (lead singer Shirley Manson)
- Jerry Rafferty (I am still trying to process this one!! )
- Jethro Tull (singer Ian Anderson)
