The Skids
The Skids formed in Dunfermline, Scotland, in 1977.
By the time of third album, The Absolute Game (1980),
things had soured. Richard Jobson had become something of a
preening, posing dilettante, dabbling in poetry and theatre. And
the audience no longer seemed to matter so much.
So Stuart Adamson left the band and returned to his hometown,
where he set out to form a new group that would not stray from the
idealistic path The Skids originally followed themselves.
And lying in bed one night in 1981 Stuart made up his mind:
that new band would be called Big
Country.
