Morrissey......... ;-)Which of the manchester bands voted for are not hugely popular outside of Manchester?

I'm so glad and proud to be from a city that has produced such great and significant music. It's not just being biased...you can watch Americans reacting to Manchester music and commenting what a good city it is for producing music.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.
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?

The music was the beginning point for me falling in love with the city, and then in turn the club, and then in turn the people. Well, some of the people :)I'm so glad and proud to be from a city that has produced such great and significant music.

I reckon Oasis would be more predominant on all other clubs forums , equally they’d be alot less Smiths/Morrissey.
A lot of Manchester music would still be representative though.

Yeah..I know. I mean just for the fact that the city's music is respected all over. I could have said Japan, but I'm not sure if that would be true ;)When did we start looking towards them for taste..........!?! ;-)

Japan probably one of the few places it might not apply. With the exception of metal bands I get the impression they are very much into their own domestic bands.
