The Smiths

http://en.wikipedia.org/w...Manchester

So many to chose from.

Although there are a lot of great Manchester bands, there's nobody quite like The Smiths.

Easy; Joy Division. Not even close. Morrisey total wanker. Except Meat is Murder. That good. Sorry Pook.

Never heard anything by The Smiths.

Bee Gees

THE SMITHS!!!

Don't know any music but speaking of Manchester:

I like Cristiano Ronaldo.

I'd have to opt for The Smiths...

For a comprehensive list of Manchester bands go to The Manchester & District Music Archive: http://www.mdmarchive.co....mePage.php

NEW ORDER.

New Order and Stone Roses are fine bands indeed but there can only be one answer to this question:

They are all shit.

Funny!

wouldn't be a Man City fan would you

Oh yeah Oasis are a bag of shite

Joy Division clearly cast a shadow over everyone else.

But New Order, The Smiths, Stone Roses and Gang Of Four are all among my favorite bands.

Nah, they were great on paper but as soon as Curtis opens his mouth to "sing"....jeeeeesus wept....no no no no no

PRINCE.

The Fall

is Salford part of Manchester

is Salford part of Manchester [/quotDunno about Manchester but it was definitely part of Madchester (Happy Mondays). As was Northwich (Charlatans) and at a push Oldham (Inspirals)

Big fall fan here

OK, I like To watch CRonaldo on the ball...you know skills are good.

but why is he such a diving cheat? is this not embarrassing? why do a player that good need feel the need to cheat? It's sad.

Mark E. Smith uh
he's class
a national treasure him

I liked the Smiths I also liked that they were not Joy Division, who I love dearly. It's good to see a band be conciseness different to such a "geographical" influence.

Happy Mondays...side 1 of "Pills and Thrills" is good.
I liked New Order...esp the video take of The Perfect Kiss
go large Hooky Bass monster.

That is my answer as well. The Fall are exactly what I want music to sound like.

Gotta include The Fall, otherwise we would have to exclude Neworderjoydivision as they were a Salford/Macclesfield band.

I've never really checked this band.
Will do now.

The smiths are unbeatable

well there output is prodigious

I really dig their cover of "Lost in Music"

the mid-period I like the most...pop songs
"Extricate" , "Shift Work" and "Code Selfish" may all be approachable albums, unlike some of the earlier efforts which can be a bit hard on the lugs.
