Can I dare to mention among all you metal heads Simple Minds.

Nazareth - Saw them last year in Dunfermline. Great live act.

Lindisfarne. Still pop up now and again.

I still think the Trilogy album is marvellous, quite lovely in places and I think that Brain Salad Surgery still stands up.

Don't forget Sky - 70s uber-dweeby prog rock classical fusion band. Fantastic for their first two albums, which topped the album charts, and went rapidly downhill after that. They still used to have a fan forum until about two years ago, but it got trolled to death.

Ok, 'huge', probably an exaggeration, but I liked them.
