The Hollies
Stone Roses
The charlatans
The Fall
Happy Mondays
Joy division
Oasis
Doves
Last 8 in no particular order, and I can name a lot more who would come before the courteeners.

Like it or not they're currently Manchester's shittest band

Agreed

 

[Sandboy]

That's like saying Steele is currently Sunderlands Number 1.

I was going to say Lewis Grabban in an SAFC all time XI

 

[EchoMan]

What about M People???

Better than some of those.

Charming !
Move on up your own arse.

 

[jarramackem]

Nee Take That ffs

 

[Steak Pie]

The Charlatans, who have no connection to Manchester, make the list but The Fall don't.

Complete shitfest of an article, to be expected from the people who ruined XfM Manchester.

Is the correct answer

I'm actually trying to agree with your point.
Even Herman's Hermits are better than the Courteneers.

 

[Doberman]

the charlatans?

 

[Latka Gravas]

the charlatans?

Great band, ok only Manchester based but streets ahead of the courteeners

not disputing that but they're only in there because of the "Madchester" sound they produced. If Oasis spent most of their career based in Peckham, that wouldn't have made them a cockney band or eligible for any "great London bands" lists.

Me and my son were out in the car yesterday and I had Absolute 80's on, he asked if he could put Radio X on, I didn't have a clue what he was on about!

It seems my 13 year old lad has got great taste in his music choice!

Sounds like he needs introducing to 6 music.

Bollocks, The charlatans have changed and diveresed their music to suit the times, superb band with a great back catalogue.

He'll probably be aware of it mate, he loves his music. A big Stone Roses fan!

Buzzcocks?

The rebrand of XfM to Radio X was catastrophic, Chris Moyles and Johnney Vaughan and lad bantz. Awful. The people that set up XfM in the first place have started again with XS Manchester, definitely not the same kind of thing if anyone asks.....

West Midlands band who based themselves in Northwich, Cheshire. About as much to do with Manchester as REM.

Still a great band who have kept up with the times and mikes ahead of shite like the courteeners.
