Original post:

As the title states, I want to create and release a pack to celebrate Scotland, my home country, in the same fashion as the 4th of July pack released earlier this month. I’d like to release it on November 30th, which is St Andrew’s Day, Scotland’s national day and a public holiday in the country. I’d like your thoughts on this idea and on songs to chart and release for the pack.

I know that November is a long way away but after the release of It’s A Long Way To The Top today (which, with its bagpipes and AC/DC’s Scottish roots, was going to be my first choice for the pack) I thought I’d get the ball rolling before any more potentially suitable songs are released.

First question is what songs to pick. Scotland has a range of great artists, so here are some of my ideas for this pack (Note: that I’m not saying we do all of these, it’s just to give you an idea):

The Proclaimers –

/

Simple Minds –

Stealer’s Wheel – “Stuck in the Middle with You”

Gerry Rafferty –

The Fratellis –

Biffy Clyro –

Franz Ferdinand – “This Fire”

Gun –

/

/ “Seems Like I’m Losing You”

I really want one of the Gun tracks to happen, they’re not well known but they’re one of my favourite bands in the world. Other possible artists include Garbage, Alestorm, KT Tunstall, and Big Country (who are all already in R:cool:, and Primal Scream, Amy Macdonald, Marillion, Eurythmics, Belle & Sebastian, Bay City Rollers, and more. Loads to pick from.

I was always disappointed that Harmonix never did a Scotland-themed pack, so I’d really like this to happen. Hope I can get you guys on board. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif” /> Let me know your thoughts and what songs you’d like to see and then we can talk collaborations.
