And the Fall at only 16? BELOW IAN BROWN?!?!? Something is amiss.
oh and
songs of 2005 surely? As there's only been one Monday's lot of releases in 2006.
terry christain
is a cock
'Appen
Blindess was the best Fall song from last year - and that whole NEw ROder album was worse than terrible
what?..
no Land Ahoy? or Former Bullies? or Beecher? this is a bad list. top 20 manchester somnambulist songs.
We
love yourself.
Elbow
Are fucking ace, and so is that song. Speaking of lists, have DiS abandoned the idea of a best of 2005 album list then?
dunno
it's lingering in the editorial queue whilst the staff argue about how predictable it is (guess where 'Funeral' came...)
why in lords name
is RAW T in the lisssssstttttt? In ANY list?!!
Where's omerta? Where's Lisa Brown? Where's Former Bullies? JIM bloody, i can sing like the next bloke in the 60s, crapper than RAM (ram are gooooood) NOIR????? The Longcut under IRONWEED, JIM NOIR and my BLODDY computerrrrrrrr?????
Uggh, i'm tired...
9 black alps
why are these called a manchester band when their singer and songwriter person - Sam is from York in wait for it, Yorkshire....
Hmm
I'd agree with the first, ninth and sixteenth. The rest can all jump off Urbis as far as I'm concerned.

Re Thommo's list: Aren't Fleeing New York from Southampton?
I may be wrong however, but I'm sure I read that somewhere
Wha?
No Studio Monkeys?
i believe he was referring to...
......the last of Mr Diver's article.
fleeing new york are still ace though, no matter where they come from! 'here i stand' by them could also be a standout southampton track from 2005. lovely little acoustic number, which is not at all like them.
that should've said last line
up there
!
No Oceansize? No Amplifier? shocked!
Though kudos on Elbow at number yes, tis correct.
Help! She Can't Swim are from Southampton right? And Scarlett Letter Union? And They Don't Sleep? All good...
Broke n English
is the worst band name I've ever heard.
Yes they are
and yes they're good. i didn't say i'd finished, hehe...
worse than
my computer? because thats the name of that icon on your desktop right now. they're named after a computer icon. and also that oasis song is just awful. but that elbow song is tops.
stephen fretwell
is from Scunthorpe, isn't he? Coming from there I really don't blame him for denying (if he ever has) this fact, even if my local indie record place happily overstocks his singles.
Liam Frost
Lisa Brown are slightly amiss and i think an honourable mention should be made for Liam Frost... perhaps he'll be in there this year.
Nine Black Alps
shouldnt be called a manchester band cos they're shite and look like faggots
Sad bastard computer nerds.
Some of you lot are pathetic-sat behind ya computer in ya camel skin mochasins and ya fucked up greasy mullet with the tram lines.
Blinded by your complete lack of talent and general worthlesness, youd rather slag people off from the comfort of your own home. (when your not sat in night and day pulling your plonkers under the table over a copy of nme)
Not one of you would have the balls to stand up and be counted if it came to the crunch which is why you do it on webpages that dont mean shit to anybody else but yourself.
I personally think that there is a decent cross section of mancunian music in the chart.
I havent heard of every band and dont like every song but there aint nuthin wrong with that.
I know half of you still live with your mum-come off the internet, she needs to use the phone and your blocking the line.
Geeks!
good point
well put.
Re.
That's why I asked.
My Southampton top whatever...
1. Birdpen - A round of applause for a great disaster
2. The Sways - The call of the bear
3. Rival Joustas - Clarity
4. Tri-City President - They went insane
5. Cathode-Ray Mission - Stendhal Syndrome
raw shit
the only reason raw t are on this list is because twatty tony wilson manages them. They're meant to be the 'hottest' manc hip hop group, but even saying manc hip hop doesn't sound right.
