my favorite english musical city is sheffield. i lived near there for a few years. i knew joe ****er came from sheffield. other artists such as def leppard, pulp, human league, thomp twins, heaven 17, abc and my favorite muso chris rea come from the area. newer artists like gomez, littleman tate and artic monkeys and a host of new wave bands area making music. the thing is sheffield, manchester and liverpool are relatively close as apposed to london which is always the magnet for the best music. the northern cities to me are more working class and done it tough so the style and rawness is reflected in their music. the fact is england and the rest of britain have put out great music. dublin would have produced a fair few.
