Gone for Snowy but I don't expect it to win. The Madchester card being played will see to that, regardless of the musical qualities concerned.

Nonsense. A simple case of one track being fantastic and the other being complete dogshitGone for Snowy but I don't expect it to win. The Madchester card being played will see to that, regardless of the musical qualities concerned.

OK, something I've been wondering about; This is a genuine open question to all and feel free to be as honest/insulting etc as you like, but please take a few minutes to think before giving your answer.Nonsense. A simple case of one track being fantastic and the other being complete dogshit
If this wasn't on a City forum but was on a Wolves, Bournemouth or a Chelsea forum do you think
a- there would be as many Madchester bands nominated?
b- which do you think would have universal appeal and actually win through to the later stages?
would it be all Blur and Adele on a Spurs forum for example? I honestly don't know.
Does it need universal appeal, or is local appeal appropriate for a City site?
What other considerations should be in there?

I bought "Born of Frustration" on cassette single from Blackpool Woolworths during my break between working trains from Leeds to Blackpool North and back.
And for that reason, and random memory recollection, it gets my vote.

Bird of paradise - no question.
One of my all time favourite songs from a superb musician.
The guitar through the song matches the mood of the song perfectly, and the solos are magnificent.
Pre-dates Brothers in Arms to which it is often compared - now THAT would have been an interesting match up.

If this was a Wolves board there would only be one winner…OK, something I've been wondering about; This is a genuine open question to all and feel free to be as honest/insulting etc as you like, but please take a few minutes to think before giving your answer.

I'd say it's not the location that's important here but the board members demographic.OK, something I've been wondering about; This is a genuine open question to all and feel free to be as honest/insulting etc as you like, but please take a few minutes to think before giving your answer.

Most footy forums will be full of men with average age of around 40ish. Lots of them will have listened to the Manc bands in their youth and now hold a strong connection with the music of that time. And, that music had a strong connection with football.
I'd take Massive Attack over Oasis. The Jam before James and the Pixies over the Roses.
