Top Twenty for Undecided Voters in Scottish Referendum!!

If you are like me and you hear a song on the radio, quite often they can sway your feelings quite a bit and would have you strongly voting one way or the other ! Or deciding to turn into a rock chick etc... well its a bit late for me to be that ! But I did see a nice pair of boots in Clarks ... !!

Ah well - here are some songs which immediately ran through my mind yesterday as I tried to think which songs would make you vote one way or the other !

Of course the Yes campaign have claimed Caledonia by Dougie McLean. And we all love a rousing chorus of Flower of Scotland !

But what ones suit an undecided voter in their ponderings or would make you go for a conventional No vote - not quite the thing for a Rock Chick to think of when wanting to change the world !!

Here goes (a lot of these were popular at our University Union disco in the 80s !) :
And sorry some of the well known bands have obviously got great copyright lawyers so you cant get to hear them ! But not great way to introduce young people to those bands is it if you cant hear them at all !
