Runrig are possibly the best band in Britain. Capercaille are good too, and Wolfstone were awesome. I grew up listening to music like that. Why don't you like it?  |

Doesn't really float my boat, but my roommate loves 'em.

Played a couple of festivals with them when I was in a Celtic rock band myself (more on the Irish side than Scottish). They were good, and nice guys too.

Why don't you like it? | We could just leave it at "I just don't really like it" although that wouldn't come anywhere near describing how loathsome I find music of that type. It's not so much the music as everything that goes with it... the Braveheart inspired nationalism etc. Horrible. |

Plus Malcolm Jones owns on guitar.  |

It's not Runrig's fault, but they inevitably attract these scum. |
