Best Scottish Band/Artist? (Poll)

But can you really beat the sweet poppy sounds of Belle & Sebastian? It was a close call... Primal Scream, J&MC, and Boards of Canada are all right up there. Cocteau Twins too, probably should have been included. I nearly voted for them as a write in candidate. I love dream pop and they pretty much created the sound.

On that list.... tch.

I voted for Primal Scream.
It was between them, JAMC, B&S, Boards of Canada and the Fannies.

I genereally prefer Belle and Sebastian as a band but I went for Primal scream 'cause I've never got bored of Screamadelica and it is in fact, the album i've bought the most times. twice on vinyl and three times on c.d plus the title track, sort of, on the Dixie-narco e.p is brilliant and now i've got an ipod i can put it on the album in place of Come toghether which is a bit boring.

franz ferdinand and the proclaimers come a close second because they are champs.

I voted for Belle and Sebastian, but I love the Twilight Sad as well, but they are not on the list.

This band solely for their connection with David Brent.

Seriously Franz Ferdinand, Proclaimers, and Primal Scream are awesome.

I have to go with Big Country. I loved what they did with the guitars. But Jesus and Mary Chain is a close second for me.

No Cocteau Twins,Josef K,Aztec Camera, and The Beta Band leave me questioning this list.

Definately John Martyn. Although, if Alestorm had been included i might have been in a bit of a Dilemma.
