Oh Manchester...

Ten songs about Manchester. Some of them are bobbins, in my opinion, but some of them are really good. Pick a favourite, and tell us why.

Cheers.

There is nothing worth writing about Manchester. It could be hell.

(sorry jade, but its true).

HaydenAsche · 04.24.2007, 05:15 PM

the Smiths. Because it's fucking Mozz.

Trane · 04.24.2007, 05:17 PM

Easy - The Smiths simply because they are the best Mancunian band although i would have picked Suffer Little Children for the poll...

Saaaaaame. "Oh, Manchester, so much to answer for..."

EDIT: Would it be blasphemous to suggest their first album was actually their best?

EDIT #2: Pookie! Did you used to watch 500 Bus Stops?

Yes I did. I love John Shuttleworth, 500 Bus Stops was great, but I particularly loved his radio shows.

I had no idea for a while that he played all the characters, including his wife Mary (make Mary merry, make Marry laff, prove alternative comedy is funny and not naff).

rusholme ruffians, obviously.
