Piggybacking on recent 'commenter vs. topic' threads as well as this season of polling and voting on things, I'm putting it to the forum to help me plan a new thread: moimoi vs. the Scottish music scene, or perhaps "moimoi's wee world of scottish music".
In order to better explore and appreciate the country with what I will argue is the highest percentage of good bands per capita in the world, I plan to review one album a week from different bands/artists. I've pre-selected 13 Scottish bands that I'm most excited to review: Belle & Sebastian, Cocteau Twins, Donovan, The Fire Engines, Franz Ferdinand, Glasvegas, Jesus & Mary Chain, Josef K, Momus, Orange Juice, Primal Scream, Simple Minds, and Travis. I need your help selecting another 13 acts, for a total of 26.
The plan is that in the first week, I'll review the most notable album from one of the pre-selected artists. In the following week, I'll either review another album suggested by comments or a 'wild card' totally random album from among those not selected. So in total, I'll cover somewhere between 26 and 52 acts from old Caledonia. Anything is fair game, as long as it's identifiable as from Scotland and available online (unless you guys want to send me music - I'm cool with that!). And if I've missed anybody from Wikipedia's exhaustive list of Scottish musicians, feel free to add below.
