Pilot is a Scottish rock band, formed in 1973, known for their pop-oriented style and catchy, melodic hooks. The band primarily consisted of David Paton (vocals, bass, guitar), Billy Lyall (synthesizers, piano, vocals), and Stuart Tosh (drums, vocals). Their most notable hit, "Magic," has become a quintessential example of 1970s pop music due to its infectious melody and uplifting lyrical content. Despite their relatively brief period of mainstream success, Pilot's impact on pop-rock sound and their influence on future synth-pop bands are significant.
