Walking home today I was listening to those East Kilbride boys The Jesus and Mary Chain and thought god, these are my favourite Scottish band ever.....ever.

Which got me thinking who are my favourite home nations bands or singers (today, at this minute I know things change every day). So

English: The Cure

Irish: The Undertones

Scottish: aforementioned Jesus and Mary Chain

Welsh: Shirley Bassey, tho not as familiar with Welsh musicians as I should be but was watching her yesterday on the tellybox and thought, she's bloody good.

I can see reading through this thread I am going to be changing my mind every second.

I think the Smiths were the last band I truly truly idolised.

To be honest mate, I could’ve put The Cure, The Clash, The Smiths, Joy Division etc as it changes quite a bit. I like a lot of Scottish bands too, but staying strong to my childhood favourites.

Deacon Blue, I have never met one Scottish person who doesn't love them. Not necessarily people's favourite but never heard a Scottish person say they don't like them.

English: probably The Beatles.

Irish: another band which ends in tones.

Scottish: aye, Jesus and Mary Chain are quality.

Welsh: no idea.

Do Big Country count as Scottish? None of the original line up were born in Scotland.

Hmmmmmmm interesting. They were formed in Scotland tho Dunfermline I think, but interesting conundrum.

Weren't Snow Patrol formed in Glasgow but are Irish?

You've identified a flaw in my thread.

Was just talking to someone today whose brother was a massive Thin Lizzy fan, he was donating some initial pressed, pristine condition vinyl to the shop. We are just researching prices now.
