ForzaDundee Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I would've happily picked half the bands in the poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzie Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 The Verve aren't from Manchester! Anyway, just for the record, I voted "other" although I'm not sure whether I prefer The Fall or Magazine. I could've voted for half the bands too though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pantene proV Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 "Other" The Fall No band like them. Could easily have went for Swing Out Sister though. # mmmmmm break out # Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fozzie Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Well spotted. That one slipped my radar. Pasted the list from Wiki. World Of Twist were from Sheffield too. They might count as being from the Manchester "scene" I suppose, which is pretty subjective. A lot of people seem to count The Charlatans as a Manchester band as well. I guess it's just like the fact that anyone from East Kilbride, Belshill, Paisley etc. seems to get counted as a "Glasgow" band in most people's eyes.

Monster Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Oasis are my fucking huckleberry so I had to vote for them, but really I adore the Mondays. Shaun Ryder is a total genius. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 how the f**k can oasis have more votes than new order, the roses and the smiths??? Because they're better than all of them. Me and a mate are always arguing about who's better, Oasis or The Stone Roses. He makes the valid point that Oasis are heavily influenced by The Stone Roses, but then again how many really good songs do The Stone Roses have? Fair enough their first album is a topper, but that's about 10 good songs. I could name 40 cracking songs by Oasis, easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin M Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Autechre, although is Rochdale counting as Manchester? If not then a tie between 808 State and A Guy Called Gerald, both of whom have made albums that are amazing and seminal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 The Fall. Followed by Marc Reilly and the Creepers. And then M People. In that order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 The top three goes: The Smiths/Morrissey Joy Division Oasis New Order went to shit after 'Movement' and 'Power, Corruption, Lies'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin M Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 New Order went to shit after 'Movement' and 'Power, Corruption, Lies'. I think Technique is their best album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_BCFC Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Buzzcocks got my vote. I can't believe that shifty b*****d Frank Sidebottom got on the list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupiter Jazz Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Cant decide between Rae & Christian, who did wonders for UK underground hip hop, both with their own productions and also with their Grand Central label, and A Guy Called Gerald - a huge player in the early days of both acid house and drum & bass.

ScottyC Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 M-People? Simply Red?Take That? The Fall every time for me plus I was never into any of that early 90's dance or Brit pop crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundermonkey Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 how the f**k can oasis have more votes than new order, the roses and the smiths??? True. I'd go: New Order Stone Roses Happy Mondays 808 State Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
