Sheffield was pretty big in the early 80s , loads of synthpop/ industrial/post punk bands like Cabaret Voltaire , Human League , Clock DVA , Heaven 17 , Artery , Comsat Angels.

Oh and Def Leppard & ABC

And it is the home of Warp Records too.

Still...I can't see how Sheffield put Manchester in third place. :confused:

Really? Liverpool? Why beacuse of The Beatles? That's one band, other citys are more deserving. I think the title should have gone to Manchester I mean all the great bands The Smiths/Morrissey, Stone Roses, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis, The Verve, The Fall, Happy Mondays.....the list goes on man. My second choice would of been London The Who, The Clash, Sex Pistols.....ect. Liverpool? Wtf?

I pretty much agree with everything you said. The only good Liverpool band was Echo.

And you forgot one of the absolute best Manchester bands: Buzz****s! Thank the Sex Pistols for that famous Lesser Free Trade Hall show. :)

Canterbury 4 lyfe. The amount of talented prog bands that came out of that city is amazing. Gong, Caravan, Soft Machine, Hatfield & The North, several others.

And since you're all raving about Mancester. Lets not forget that Van Der Graaf Generator came from there. :pimp:

Hmm somethings wrong. I have albums by 3 of those Canterbury bands but only 2 are showing up.

Edit: Gong are listed as being from Paris
