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).

the Smiths. Because it's fucking Mozz.

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

student lost in cheetham hill.

that actually happened a friend and he got mugged by a scewdriver weilding maniac next to strangeways prison.

The Smiths Obviously...

Talking about the Smiths, im in that stage again of listening to them all the time.

John Shuttleworth of course!!!!

You're like Manchester
You've Got Strangeways

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?

frank sidebottom's improv song about timperly.

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.

shuttleworth undoubtedly.
one day i'll devise a method to pull the wool from the eyes of smiths fans.

Ditto.
