Ive actually not heard Belle & Sebastian myself yet, but included them as I know a lot of other people like them. Also why do people keep going on about 'indie sh*t'. Its not sh*t, just because its blander than other types of music that all the progheads etc listen to. I grew up listening to Indie, The Stone Roses & Oasis were pretty much the two first bands I got into. I dont listen to a lot of Indie nowadays but still have a liking for it. I pride myself on being open to a wide range of different genres & subgenres.
Anyway what about Idlewild?

Definitely Jesus and Mary Chain.

Out of that lot, Primal Scream get my vote.

Aztec Camera, Josef K, Orange Juice and the Fire Engines are well worth checking out if you haven't already. Classic Scottish post-punk there (except Aztec Camera - they're a bit more power pop than post-punk... kinda).

Has to be The Jesus & Mary Chain, i love Psychocandy and Darklands.

Yeah, I like Primal Scream but see them as another one of these inconsistent bands, much like the way I view the Foo Fighters (although PS are way better). Thanks for the bands man Ill check them out when time permits.

I'm not surprised at all.
I predicted it was either going to come down to Primal Scream, or Jesus And Mary Chain.

Son of JayJamJah 06-04-2009 06:11 PM

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.

That wasn't suppose to be a sleight against indie, at all. Most of the music I listen to is considered indie.

I'm pretty Torn between Primal Scream, Belle and Sebastian, and Mogwai.

Rickenbacker 06-04-2009 06:58 PM

Mogwai by a longshot.
