No over-thinking, no spreadsheets, no calculations, just hit me with a top 3 for each topic on instinct alone.
Belle & Sebastian
Frightened Rabbit
Idlewild
Young Fathers, Franz Ferdinand, Teenage Fanclub and early Biffy Clyro just miss out.

Teenage Fanclub, Delgados, Stretcheads, Beta Band and Arab Strap all could have been in on a different day. If J&MC had stopped after the first album they would have walked it
