Just wondering people, Did the survey previously mentioned include expat Scots? There's a couple down here in Australia that are/were quite brilliant....Jimmy Barnes (Cold Chisel), Colin Hay (Men At Work), Bon Scott & the Young Brothers (AC/DC) probably the best and well known. Then there's John Paul Young (I know...'Love is In the Air'...yuch), Sheena Easton (cripes!) and David Byrne from Talking Heads who was born in Glasgow. As you can see, it's a pretty big can of worms to open! It still astounds me that the Dels were behind such musical jokes as Bay City Rollers and Wet Wet Wet. The other top tenners fair enough, but c'mon...... Never mind 'Donald where's ya troosers', Scotland where's ya taste?
