Slow Thrills

Best Scottish Band of All Time result
The List magazine have announced the votes of their poll to anme the best Scottish act of all time [link here]. I was surprised but pleased to find Belle and Sebastian at number 1, and also surprised by the diverse list - Bay City Rollers, bis and the Mull Historical Society all shockingly high up, the Blue Nile and the Cocteaus disgracefully low. Still, 12000 votes is a great response to any poll.
My vote would have included Cocteau Twins, Belle and Sebastian, Teenage Fanclub, Arab Strap, Jesus and Mary Chain, the Blue Nile, Beta Band, Delgados, Mogwai, the Pastels, Primal Scream and Altered Images. How come Lloyd Cole and the Comotions don't count and Snow Patrol do?
