how could anyone be so mistaken?

Manchester has an utterly unblievable track record for producing amazing music:


The Buzzcocks
The Charlatans UK
Doves
Inspiral Carpets
Joy Division/New Order
Oasis
The Smiths/Morrissey
Stone Roses/Ian Brown

and probably more icant think of. i'll go on more later.

considering its one of the larger cities, in a country that has produced some of the biggest names in music the last 50 years, that list you have there isnt all that impressive.

do over

Plus they have a great football club.

Anyways, AFAIK, Manchester's an industrial city, which probably played some part in the development of so many great bands. I'd suggest taking a look at the following link, specifically at the band biographies, as that might get you some info. Good luck on the paper!

http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=ADFEAEE57E19D847AF7F20D09D3249D08B20A45A8963 E38F162F451BDFBA3C54D8375DB870FC8B98FDFB6ABC66ADFF 2EA21606D9C9E75CF9DF764C40&sql=13:BPMANCHESTER,|ENGLAND]

That's a list of bands from Manchester from the AMG database.

There're not from Liverpool? Damnit, they remind me of some group from Liverpool...can't quite remember the name though.

right, but are The Verve actually from Manchester? iknow theyre northern and hav strong ties to the city, but ithought they were from some other smaller town up there- iknow Ashcroft wasnt born in Manchester at least. or is it like living in Barrie, ON means nothing to anyone so you juste say Toronto?

come up with a better list for a city that isnt London or New York. the only that spring to mind that would give Manchester a run for its money are Seattle and to a lesser degree (not necesarily less talent, but certainly less recognition) Toronto and Montreal- and these lists dont really come close.
