I laugh at the lazy journalistic categorisation by ‘decade’. The feckless ****s should just stop it.

Anyway, the acceptable face of Jutery…

Pure pop, if you want to tie yourselves in genre knots.

Would you not say Average White Band were acceptable for Jutes?

Wasn't too long ago I realised they were white, they didn't sound like a white group and was blown away when I discovered they were from Dundee.
Danny Wilson though were decent. Had a bit of success in the late 80s with Mary's Prayer, but I thought Second Summer of Love was the better single.
