Music Of Manchester!!
 I recently read that Manchester has produced more 'rockstars' (etc) per capita than any other City in the World...and I think it could be true! Manchester UK has certainly produced some of the most original, innovative and uniquely cool musicians in the world....so here's a thread dedicated to that one subject....the Music of Manchester! Please post anything from Manchester and local area that you love...anything historical that helped to shape the sound of Manchester etc.  Ok, to get the ball rolling I'll post one of the best known records from Manchester's most famous record label...Factory. New Order- Blue Monday (12" Version) |

Apart from Fools Gold, Loose Fit by Happy Mondays is my favourite Manc tune. It's never far from my Facebook wall.

Oasis' finest moment as far as I'm concerned.

Anyway, you mentioned a classic so here it is... Stone Roses-Fools Gold The gold road’s sure a long road Winds on through the hills for fifteen days The pack on my back is aching The straps seem to cut me like a knife The gold road’s sure a long road Winds on through the hills for fifteen days The pack on my back is aching The straps seem to cut me like a knife I’m no clown I won’t back down I don’t need you to tell me what’s going down Down down down down da down down down Down down down down da down down down I’m standing alone I’m watching you all I’m seeing you sinking I’m standing alone You’re weighing the gold I’m watching you sinking Fool’s gold These boots were made for walking The marquis de sade don’t wear no boots like these Gold’s just around the corner Breakdown’s coming up round the bend Sometimes you have to try to get along dear I know the truth and I know what you’re thinking Down down down down da down down down I’m standing alone I’m watching you all I’m seeing you sinking I’m standing alone You’re weighing the gold I’m watching you sinking Fool’s gold Fool’s gold I’m standing alone I’m watching you all I’m seeing you sinking I’m standing alone You’re weighing the gold I’m watching you sinking Fool’s gold Send "Fools Gold" Ringtone to your Cell |

I really tried to like Oasis, but I just don't. I like a couple of Noel's songs, Wonderwall...um...oh, and I like that one off the first album, Live Forever, but I just found their work too plagiaristic to be classed as skilful appropriation. But the main thing was Liam's voice and stage persona! Oh, they could have been Mozart & Beethoven reincarnated and I wouldn't be able to bear it just from that one band member turning me off lol.
Tbh, though, I wasn't that big on late Britpop/Indie. I liked the earlier bands such as Suede, Pulp, Manics, but never really got into Oasis. Blur had some good tracks, but I wasn't really a big fan of them either.  Manchester for me was The Smiths, Stone Roses, New Order, James etc.

Dance, dance, dance to the radio...
This was the first Joy Division song that I really loved, I was about 16 when I first heard this and I dont think I'd ever heard anything quite like it before...still sounds very unique now.
Amazing lyrics too..Joy Division-Transmission (Album Version) Transmission-Live (Peel Session 1979) Radio, live transmission. Radio, live transmission. Listen to the silence, let it ring on. Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun. We would have a fine time living in the night, Left to blind destruction, Waiting for our sight. And we would go on as though nothing was wrong. And hide from these days we remained all alone. Staying in the same place, just staying out the time. Touching from a distance, Further all the time. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Well I could call out when the going gets tough. The things that we've learnt are no longer enough. No language, just sound, that's all we need know, to synchronise love to the beat of the show. And we could dance. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.

It's a shame that Tony Wilson died a few years ago, as it seems the Manchester music scene has died with him.
 Here's a clip of the Happy Mondays in their prime:
