The poll was produced by Scottish magazine, The List after they nominated the top 50 Scottish bands of all time.
Band leader Stuart Murdoch said: ‘We don’t think for a moment that we are the best band in Scotland, but we are thrilled to be on a list with some of our favourite artists like Teenage Fanclub and the Cocteau Twins. I think it says more about the fans than it does about us. We have a very loyal fan base. We’re absolutely delighted.’
That list in full:
1. Belle & Sebastian
2. Travis
3. Idlewild
4. Wet Wet Wet
5. Sensational Alex HarveyBand
6. Simple Minds
7. Teenage Fan Club
8. Bay City Rollers
