Best Scottish Band/Artist? (Poll)

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.
 
Its not so much the vocals for me its the bagpipe like guitar sound they had. Especially the riff on 'FielRAB Of Fire', I hear that in my sleep.

EDIT: Who else voted John Martyn???
 
John Martyn was my pick

Honorable Mention: Primal Scream, The Proclaimers, J&M Chain and Stealers Wheel (Which I'd never have considered a band of Scots.
 
Just out of curiosity have you listened to any of the other banRAB?

I voted for J&MC a while back but if i was to vote now i'd vote for Belle and Sebastian, i just love them that bit more now.
 
Bunch of banRAB I love on that list (Jesus and Mary Chain, Belle and Sebastian, Primal Scream, Orange Juice, BoarRAB Of Canada) but I ended up voting for Teenage Fanclub mostly because as of now I'm obsessed with Bandwagonesque.
 
I don't really have an out-and-out favourite these days. There's no band I necessarily feel are better than all the others. Teenage Fanclub at their best are maybe my favourite, same applies for Belle & Sebastian, the Cocteau Twins, the Vaselines, Orange Juice and Mogwai.

There's a wonderful indie rock band from Glasgow, active through the 90s, called Urusei Yatsura - sound kinda like early Pavement/Sonic Youth, and they have some totally amazin' songs. They're one of the best recent discoveries
