BULLLLLLLLLLSHIT
Since the Beatles how many great bands have come out of Liverpool?
How the fuck is it not
London.
Er...
Stones...
Er... Lily Allen?
it'll never be London
it's my home city but Manchester is far more important. Most bands who say they are from London probably moved there from somewhere else anywhere (a recent example being Bloc Party). It's the same for New York. Very few of the bands who say they are from there were actually born there.
Manchester has had bands both big and pioneering (the likes of Oasis, Stone Roses and Joy Division alongside the likes of Magazine, the Buzzcocks and the Smiths).
Non
Manchester wins
Too right
we've got Cats In Paris.
Least musical. One of them anyway.
The Mersey beat bands were brilliant, but who've they had after? Echo and the Bunnymen with That Song? The Las? The Coral?
All are alright bands I spose. Never got into them.
But I think Manchester is probably it.
I can't STAND 'MaDcHeSter' and all that fucking horrible psuedo nostalgia that goes with it, but their list of good bands is probably longer than anyone else's. They had no-one in the 60s mind.
PS - how is Sheffield number 2?
Pulp. Arctics. Milburn?
65DOS?
surely a few brownie points for them?
The La's are the best ever band to come out of Liverpool.
Why do New Order always get mentioned in the same breath as Manchester,
instead of Joy Division? Fuck New Order. They're shite.
name one good band to come out of liverpool
Err...
The Beatles
?
o rly? who are they?
anyway , its obviously london. it's ridiculous to suggest anything else. the beatles ruined liverpools music scene, everything after it, with a few exceptions, has been piss versions of the beatles. like manchester and the smiths
Gerry and the Pacemakers - Ferry Cross The Mersey
very strong record.
ah yea, i forgot that
and the dead 60s
.
The Beatles
The La's
...
Joy Division
Happy Mondays
The Stone Roses
Oasis
Doves
Elbow
Manchester are the winnorz.
clearly Liverpool in that case
..
the courteeners
the ting tings
...
most good things
london is winnorz
That's only half the story

Leicester fourth!
Cast
All change and Mother Nature Calls were top. The Aeroplanes were shithot for a couple of years too.
Leicester - home of Kasabian, Showaddywaddy and Engelbert Humperdinck
:|
yeah clearly better than
"The Who, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, The Clash"
To be fair
Its had more no 1s than any other city. Admittedly, if you take away the spice girls and 3 lions your not left with all that much. It has got a pretty thriving small gig circuit tho.
Manchester's probably the city with the closest claim. I heard somewhere its got more venues per capita than any other city.
London's got loads of bands yeah, but most of them move their cos its easier to get noticed if the NME don't have to go more than a couple of tube stops to see them. The number of bands it actually generated itself probably isnt that great.
To be honest though, Ive got no idea how you'd go about actually measuing this kind of thing. Whatever method they used is bound to be bollocks.
Im sure...
Glasgow has had some decent bands right!!
Yummy Fur
My Bloody Valentine
Errors
Mogwai
Jesus and Mary Chain
1990s
Delgados
Areogramme
Lulu
Urusei Yatsura
Deacon Blue
Primal Scream
Orange Juice
The Pastels
Vaselines
etc etc
Glasgow like most Cities has some pure shite though...
As if
As a regional town. Liverpool completely owns everywhere else when it comes to musical output.
ou est leeds?
