- Hey Ed! your answer to this question inspired me to dig out all the old Big Country I used to love(much appreciated..still sounds as good as ever)..also did some reading up on Stuart Adamson(R.I.P) did you know that Big Country never used bagpipes in their songs?! It was all E-bow and guitars!

  by APACHEmeansENEMY on July 27th, 2008
- I had no idea, sounded so much like bagpipes.
  I actually like one of their later albums best, Why The Long Face.

- Neither did I! Isn't that cool? "The Crossing" will always be a favorite of mine...but I like the later stuff too...

The list is too long so I am going to say "anything played by Wolfstone." I think I have every album that they have done. After that, "anything by Tanahill Weavers." I can say the same for Tanahill Weavers. I just pulled a random Wolfstone video then a random Tanahill Weavers video.

Now I need to put on some Wolfstone.

AB will not let me embed a video so here are a couple of URL's:
Tanahill Weavers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIHhYbtrNsM

Wolfstone: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urrMPH5dHus

  I have a love for Scottish music. I have no clue how much I have in my collection. Burach is another of my favorites but they are not a pipe band so I did not stick one of theirs in here.

- My videos aren`t uploading either, don`t know why. But I am listening to Wolfstone right now. At first I thought you meant the Wolftones, which is an Irish band. Still good but not the same. XD
  - Report
  by Oor Galooly - on June 22nd, 2008
- Now I am listening to Wolftones... not bad at all. My preference is Scottish but I also like Irish. Some people do not hear the difference between Scottish and Irish music... they must have a dead ear.
  .
  I have a Scottish friend who is very into her heritage and, hence, have learned a LOT about Scottish history. I used to go with her to the Highland Games and hang around with her at her Clan tent, participate in all sorts of goodies, eat excellent food, and listen to kick-ass music. Silly Wizard is also an excellent Scottish band, as is Iron Horse, Bongshang, and... and...

  by Arisztid on June 22nd, 2008
- There's actually lots, too many to mention. Some are less conventional than others. Here`s a famous one, my flatmate was actually friends with the drummer, and went to their concerts for free. Catchy tune.

  - Report
  by Oor Galooly - on June 22nd, 2008
- That must have been a treat. I never had a well known flatmate. That tune is catchy but not really along my lines.
  .
  There are, literally, too many good Scottish bands to list. From my time in the Highland Games I amassed rather a large collection. They came to know me, look for me, and have a few CDs to play for me which I usually bought. I like from traditional folk, to folk/metal (like Wolfstone), to folk/alternative (Bongshang, Shooglenifty, Burach, etc), to an unknown sort of music called "waulking music" (which is highly traditional by the way).

definitely AC/DC It's A Long Way To The Top (if you wanna rock and roll). I mean, rock and roll, bagpipes, it goes hand in hand.

actually, shoots and ladders by KoRn is another good one, too
