For me the best Scottish band is Glasvegas, fantastic debut album and they are recording the second one at the end of the year. I've heard the demos for it and they are phenomenal. They are amazing lyrically IMO

Great song of theirs - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybe0LURTW3A

I just realised I don't like any band or singer from Scotland. Nothing personal... I just realised that none of the acts I like are from there.

Frightened Rabbit*

and Franz Ferdinand had a really good debut, didn't really pay attention to them after that though...

Personally I'd go for Frightened Rabbit, Idlewild and Mogwai - three of my favourite bands.
