Bestest album by a Scottish band (Rock genre)

[Herbie]

Dug out my cd of Simple Minds 1982 album New Gold Dream 81 82 83 84 for a spin....fantastic record of its time and still sounds great.IMO they never bettered it...So i'm nominating it as my best album ever by a Jock band.....what would yours be?

The debut album from Gun Taking On the World) takes a lot of beating... *goes to dig it out*

Also
Balaam and the Angel, cracking band.
Nazareth.. brilliant.
Biffy Clyro.. another great band

Can't beat a bit of Frankie Miller, Fool in Love from The Rock from 1976 - great voice, great band!
