You have won this discussion my man!
I know you have.
Your points are right.
One thing I would say though is that the mondays were most influential to manchester with maybe the roses second.
My title was about influential from manchester. I reckon in hindsight even though the mondays were short lived like their shows they were the crest of that high scene. The roses not so much purely because they were not connected to wilsons club there.
The smiths get bussloads of americans who vist the working mans club from the pictures and they put mancs on the map but for me the mondays from 88 to 91 ish made madchester what it was.
But your points about britpop are right and I am wrong.
But don't you think that those earlier bands didn't really light the fuse much.
I think it was the BRITS where they really got going with that blur oasis thing and their two singles combined release crap.
But for me like I said I think the mondays encapsulate manchester's finest moment.
So I would say they were most influential been tied to wilsons club.
