thesweetscience Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 How wide are your musical tastes? I have an Scottish indie folk band I am hooked on at the moment but not sure if that's your speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I broke him in with the Proclaimers, and was planning to hit him with some Runrig later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really just one guy and he only has 4 albums and there isn't a weak track on any of them. They are a "glass of scotch on the porch with a nice cigar" kind of band. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edhunter Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) Runrig's Searchlight album is my favorite album by anyone, ever. I used to buy the CD's as imports, so they were double the cost. Here's 10.... City of Lights Always the Winner (my CP id) The Cutter Skye (Live) Tir a' Mhurain (Land of the Maram Grass) Move a Mountain Loch Lomond Tear Down These Walls Flower of the West https://youtu.be/3VBk0Hjp5mw Eirinn https://youtu.be/jquy7P4zrUk Too bad they never broke in America. Their heyday was about '87 to '96, but they only retired a few years ago. Edited March 8, 2020 by edhunter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted March 10, 2020 Author Share Posted March 10, 2020 I've been slacking on my homework, so let's get at it... Here's 10 by Runrig.... City of Lights - :) Nice one. Up tempo, great harmonies... Always the Winner (my CP id): a nice full sound to this one, with a very Scottish melody. The Cutter: A bit down tempo...nice lyrics...not crazy abut the drum sound. Skye (Live): This is killer! I love that drum intro...very Big Country :7up: Tir a' Mhurain (Land of the Maram Grass): Nice harmonies here. Move a Mountain - A nice upbeat track Loch Lomond - Voted the greatest Scottish song ever, and I see why. They'd be great to see live. Tear Down These Walls - A nice message here. I love bands that personify the places they're from. This band does that in spades. Flower of the West: Great guitar tone on this one, and a killer groove! https://youtu.be/3VBk0Hjp5mw Eirinn Beautifully captures to majesty of the land and ability of the Irish people to persevere and live life to its fullest in the face of a troubled past. Great song. https://youtu.be/jquy7P4zrUk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Courtesy of metallithrax... Ginger Wildheart: The Wildhearts - Caffeine Bomb -= :dweez: I love it! Great punk vib and the lyrics are sneaky smart. The Wildhearts - Vanilla Radio - This has a fantastic sound to it...middle eastern influence...and then the harmonies are nice touch Hey Hello - Swimwear - Mapex drums! That's my current set! Catchy tune with a pop feel! Hey Hello - How I survived the Punk Wars - I love the angry sensibility of this one. All the best swear words in all the right places! "Don't eat the bullshit." Good advice, that. Wildhearts - Stormy in the North, Karma in the South - Here we go... :haz: and then :7up: . Reminds me of the club days of my youth. Wildhearts - Sick of Drugs - Hmmm... a different sort of track here...there's a lot going on. Like a pastiche of the entire breadth of pop-punk. Ginger Wildheart - Paying it Forward - Hey...did someone grow up a little bit? Kinder, gentler, a bit more folksy. This song is saccharine sweet in the best way. Ginger Wildheart - If you find yourself in London Town - This is nice... Great melody. Howlin' Willie c*** - Goin' home to Satan - Man do I love this! Of course, you pretty much had me at c***! Is there anything better than ironically vulgar old-timey country? Howlin' Willie c*** - A Lil' bit O' gravy - :laughing guy: Might have to give that a try!

So far, I really liked "Parents". "Smile Boy Smile" is a straight ahead southern rock and roll, which really isn't my bag, baby. Now "Black Velvet Stallion", that's got a bit more going on with it. I love its mood... Likewise with Napoleon Bona! What great intro...and then into an Immigrant Song gallop. Great tune!
