Top 20 Scottish bands

they rock in a dreamy way

They had a massively popular hit with ‘Take Me Out’ but it only ever reached number two in the charts

I have no idea why this band isn't in the Top 10 of all Scottish bands. Warnings & Promises is a fantastic album, as is The Remote Part.

Really good singer and really good Scottish acsent.

Checkmate Savage is hands-down the best Scottish album of all time, and The Wants is as good. For this band not to be HUGE is absolutely criminal.

Kenny Anderson. Fantastic song writer, fantastic voice. There is only one King,and that is Creosote.

From the ashes of The Beta Band rose the Psychedelic phoenix............

Lyrics and accent. listen to 'Crash Land'. now.

not a band but a girl with an amazing voice

Got her start busking, excellent musician.

best scottish singer

hes not a fband but the best fucking scot ever

You maybe have to be of a certain age to appreciate this one!

Magic

The greatest Scottish band ever

AKA Gordon Anderson. Hugely underrated song writer. He writes with his heart, as it should be. Each song is like a glimpse into his soul. Reminiscent of Lennon or Bowie. Ignore this man at your pearl

Phenomenal musician, amazing lyrics, beautiful delivery.

Incredibly talented singer/songwriter/guitarist.

They are dominating right now.

Who can forget the massive number one hit, ’Love Is All Around’

One hit wonders as far as I remember - must have been a good one!

Fantastis Scottish Band from the 80's with sinlges like: Broken Years - Honeythief - Ask The Lord - Long White Car

so many amazing songs and are still going unlike many other scottish bands

Dreamy, noisy, inventive - superb albums especially "Hate"

An accoutic ensemble that went to number 1 a rare thing in the rag end of the eighties.

Although she isn't a member of a band, she is current, is an amazing talent and she hs done incredibly well in 2012.

ONE FOR ALL YOU ROCK FANS... Framed???? c'mon... best frontman to come outa Scotland, no contest

Kandy Pop!!

Because their good

Young at heart

Great songs

can't beat a bit of Scottish Rain

The guys are amazing

Got to give props to this amazing Scottish Gaelic singer. Not only is she an incredible musical talent, she's also a wee stoater!

Why are they not even mentioned, one of the most influential and game changing bands in british music history.. screamadelic and exterminator are masterpieces and they never really did the same song twice. Also if you check out 'velocity girl' you will hear the blueprint for every song from the stone roses debut album which might just be the perfect pop album. and big shout for Alex Harvey to be high up for all you rock fans. best scottish frontman in history and the inspiration behind the real ACDC... as for calvin harris???? F**K RIGHT OFF. that's just embarrassing even claiming him to be Scottish let alone on this list

Powerpop at its best and an amazing single release in The Shape of Things to Come.

BOTH SINGERS VOICES FROM BLUE NILE AND ASSOCIATES VOICES ARE ANGEL INFLUENCED....

C´mon you lot! The quintessential punk band - Ahoy! Ahoy!

The best scottis band of all time. James Grant best scottish song writer of all time

The best Scottish band, hugely underrated.

Their first two albums were symbols of perfection.

One of the best bands in Scotland for the last 6-7 years, producing great alternative music for a Scottish band

All born and bred in Scotland and moved to Oz later.

Really!!! No mention! Got to be one of the most under-rated bands from Scotland.

25 years of good bagpipe ,drum & guitar

Rip it up

one of the most interesting bands of the time! toured around the UK and I loved them
