[kj] Scott Shite (OT)

[Rob Moss]

But I HATED that guitar sound.
You may call it innovation. 

I call it six string death. 

Next it will be Del Amitri and Runrig

I didn't respect them as musicians. I hated what they did. It was vile to my delicate ears. I did think it was drivel. Pointless drivel. 

I don't want to upset you though. 

So here's a big kiss. 

Xxxxxxxxx

Obviously I'm aware that a lot of crap bands have number one albums and that in and of itself it doesn't amount to that much but I was trying to paint a general picture of a well-respected band because it bugs me when people say they are "utter shite" rather than something like "I respect them as musicians but their music is not my cup of tea". My point being this was a band that resolutely refused to be fashionable and yet still had a number one album. Spice Girls music was deliberately written to sell. Big Country wasn't. Stuart Adamson, like Geordie, had a huge amount of talent and his own distinctive sound. He could've sold out any number of times but he never did. Instead he chose to write the music he actually wanted to write. And it _still_ went to number one.
