The Bay City Rollers are a Scottish pop rock band known for their worldwide teen idol popularity in the 1970s.
They were called the “tartan teen sensations from Edinburgh”, and sold an estimated 120–300 million records worldwide, making them one of the best selling musical acts of all time globally.
Famous hits included Bye, Bye, Baby and Shang-a-Lang.
Among those who nominated the band was Gavin Murray, from Kilmacolm, who said Scottish rock music has a global appeal.
He said a hall of fame “would certainly become a strong magnet for tourists… adding a certain boost to the economic vibrancy Sauchiehall Street needs and deserves”.
Carolyn Johnston said: “The Bay City Rollers were the biggest band in Scotland in the seventies. They deserve to be in the hall of fame. We had Rollermania.”
