Sponsor | | penman2 | Oct 18, 2006 5:31am | Damn ! I forgot the Incredible String Band (7th, with those below moving one down).
sputt - as you say, that list is just the rock/pop artists; there are many more in the folk, traditional and experimental fields (like Fraser Fifield, who uses the pipes with electronica).
Scotland has a very rich musical heritage, but suffers from the 'Canada' syndrome - where Americans assume that most Canadian bands/artists are American.... |
