Coffeeshop was from Liverpool

What happened to him?

@David: :laughing:...suchatwat...:rolleyes:

He's from Southport (not strictly scouse) and currently living in a safe-house undergoing corrective speech therapy.

The mutual hatred dates back centuries...it's a birth right.

There's a saying in Manchester that sums up the difference between the two cities and it's people;

On Merseyside they say that Liverpool is England's second city...in Manchester we know that London is!

Detroit actually.

my post was deleted WHY??

Are you sure?
I don't see any deleted posts in this thread...

damn I guess I didn't submit properly

it was hilarious as well

boo boo would have laughed himself into a stuper

Just post it again.

the moments over

it's too late

:(

They formed in Birkenhead... :rolleyes:My list was pretty complete, right-prick.

liverpool

ok
why the censor?

Which is closer to Liverpool than Wallasey which is where the Boo Radleys are from. And yet they seem to be in YOUR list :laughing:

I've heard sources say both, so I figured I would chuck them in there.

No you didn't you copied & pasted a list and then tried to be a smart arse by making out me to be wrong. :laughing:

Um, no. If so, please tell me where I copied it from. This is what happened: I compiled a list of bands I knew (or thought, in the case with The Boo Radleys) were from Liverpool. When you told me The Boo Radleys weren't, I looked it up and you were right. But I do remember reading somewhere a long time ago that they were from Liverpool. Congrats, you know a bands origins better. Drinks on me. :beer:

I mentioned HMHB for musical reasons not geographical ones. They are one of the bands from that area I happen to enjoy the most and I felt they deserved a mention. I was perfectly happy for 'Liverpool bands' to mean any band from Liverpool or it's surrounding area.

You were the one that started getting anal over geographical location , not me. If you have a problem with someone doing it to you than may I suggest you stop doing it yourself.

Oh, okay. I thought you were being anal towards me about leaving off bands that you felt deserved a spot. Sorry.

And what's anal about mentioning my favourite Liverpool band in a thread about Liverpool music?

All I did was state they were an omission on your list , which they were. You can take that however you wish. If you want to get overly defensive about it then by all means do.

I said I thought you were being anal, but now I realize your not. Look who's talking about defensive. :p: Jeez, I said sorry and openly admitted it was my mistake. What more can one ask for?

Your point being?...

Liverpool has produced some of the most mediocre bands in the British rock tradition. There is absolutely no justification whatsoever for having Liverpool as the most musical city in England. It's just pure bullsh1t. Their only real standing legacy aside from The Beatles is the Merseybeat movement. And that was hardly vital or artistically important music or anything.

The REAL reason why Liverpool ended up winning this poll was because it was skewed in some way or other in order to bolster Liverpool's image as the culture capital of Europe in 2008.

Which incidentally is also bullsh1t. Liverpool isn't even deserving of being the culture capital of Merseyside let alone the whole European Union.

No Cherry Ghost? :(

I have the album but they did'nt show up for some reason...

It only lists places if someone has entered it into the profile.

Formed in Bolton that's why. Sorry RT!

Bolton, Greater Manchester...same thing really.

You mean Wanderers are the same as the scum? ;)

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.

Another argument (sort of) for Manchester; it was the location of two of the most important concerts in rock history.

1966; Bob Dylan & The Hawks; the so-called Royal Albert Hall concert actually occurred in Manchester. The "Judas!" remark immortalized the show.

1976; The Sex Pistols play a gig at the Lesser Free Trade Hall. The show inspires the immediate formation of Buzzco****s and Joy Division, and also inspires Mark E. Smith and Steven Morrissey. I've heard people argue that it was the most important gig of the era, and it's pretty hard to argue with that.

The Fall were already together by the time that gig happened , they just didn't have a drummer.

Smith thought the Pistols were rubbish and that his band were better.

Mick Hucknall was there too and went on to form The Frantic Elevators, before selling out to form Simply Red.
An act that Tony Wilson never forgave him for.

Of course he was right, but then again, every Mancunian at the gig would have thought the same thing...it goes with the territory. ;)

I think how much that gig influenced Morrissey has been way overstated and exaggerated. He was already president of the New York Dolls fanclub and had a big interest in punk rock. I think as a singer all it really did was give him a few backing bands (The Nosebleeds, Slaughter & The Dogs) until Marr came along.

:rofl:
