Manchester Bands of the 80's and 90's

As we all know some of the best music of these decades came from this very city (pity we're shit these days). I'm interested in seeing what people's favourites are, because some sound very similar (Stone Roses and Oasis) and others are completely unique like the Smiths. Say why you've picked a particular band.

My vote goes to The Smiths, because as a friend of mine likes to say "they have two songs for every emotion". Sometimes they don't need to say much to get a point across, "Death of A Disco Dancer" and "That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore" being two quite similar examples. As songwriting and music go, they're always among my favourites.
Pity Morrissey is so contemptible!
