    Who do you consider to be Scotland's greatest musical exports?

    I ask this because one of my mates reckons no truly great music has ever come out of Scotland. Obviously, it's easy to name plenty of first-rate English musicians, yet I must admit I'm actually struggling to see beyond Runrig and Barbara Dickson when it comes to luminaries from north of the border.

    Please enlighten me, for once you've done so, I'll take your knowledge back to my mate and shove it up his fat bollocks.

    Thanks.

    Bye.

    Genius is obviously frightening to you and your middle class sensibilities.
