Not Gazza, the other one.
I thought Raoul Moat killed himself?

I suppose Northern English drunkard is a bit too broad a category to narrow musicians down within.

What chyu talkin' bout willis?

Well, even if that's the case...

The Stone Roses >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Oasis.

But that isn't the case, their S/T was a masterpiece. I fell in love with it for absolutely ages, I've not heard it in a while. I actually want to listen to them again. TSR were so so so good. John Squire's guitar work was so good, and even Ian's vocals were good.

i'm not even sure if the stone roses are superior to oasis. oasis had some good tracks. however, i have only heard the stone roses s/t but three oasis albums. for some reason they never really clicked for me, so that means they suck.

No, it means you suck.

Oasis were my favourite band years ago, even more so than TSR but c'mon, John Squire > Noel Gallagher. Ian Brown > Liam. Their S/T was such a good album, just because you don't appreciate it doesn't mean they suck. You disappoint me sometimes Eric.

A fair few of my very favourite bands are from Manchester. Since I'm trying to avoid voting for the Smiths, the Chameleons get my pick... I love that band.

The Buzzcocks have already been mentioned, but Magazine was also great. As well as the Durutti Column and Autechre. Didn't the Hollies hail from Manchester too - or maybe I'm getting my facts wrong? I have a Badly Drawn Boy album sitting on my bookshelf but I've yet to listen to it.
