As an American college student, the Smiths were my favorite band and I had all of their albums. They were a lot "bigger" in America than the English give them credit for in terms of their popularity. They "were" the English 80's Sound as far as I'm concerned. To this day, 30 some years on, I never get tired of listening to a Smith's song. One of the cultural gems of England. I think that the song "Still Ill" was one of the greatest songs ever written....."I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving, England is mine - it owes me a living."

I love The Stone Roses, but to have them over Joy Division is blasphemy. The Stone Roses had one great album, and a pretty forgettable sophomore album. Joy Division has two of the most iconic albums of all time. Few albums are as artistically great and influential as Unknown Pleasures. And even fewer albums are lyrically great as Closer. And they both shaped 1979 and 1980 in their own way. And on just about any music list, you will find them among the Top 5 in each year. Even in one of the greatest years in music history in 1979 with the releases of such classics as London Calling by The Clash The Wall by Pink Floyd Breakfast in America by Supertramp Highway to Hell by AC/DC Off the Wall by Michael Jackson Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young and Crazy Horse Cut by The Slits etc. And obviously Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division.

I could probably compile a top 50 Manchester bands list, and still miss out a few influential and important bands. How so much talent can come out of one city is outrageous.

[@andym28]

Do the list. I like cinematic orchestra oceansize and amplifier

[@cameronmatthews5079]

James????? Only an honourable mention shambles! Agreed with the smiths at #1 will always be the GOAT!❤️

[@insanityisawesome97]

4. The Stone Roses 3. New Order 2. The Smiths 1. Joy Division

[@jakebsn499]

Do a top 10 British movies. Like Harry Potter, James Bond, Inception, King's Speech Trainspotting etc

[@thomasliddle2463]

Harry Potter is fucking shite

[@arianrhodhyde7482]

Jake Bsn trainspotting isn't british, it's scottish. britain = england and wales

[@kostajovanovic3711]

No, Lawrence of Arabia, brief encounter, a clockwork orange should be there, not the blockbusters you listed( that is pointed a hp and jb)

[@boggy8745]

This Is England?

[@50ShadesOfEndo]

Arianrhod Hyde Haha are you dumb

[@maxburdekin4352]

Surely The Courtneeners deserve a mention. GOD BLESS THE BAND

[@alfiebratt]

Should be a comedian

[@dylandwyer7939]

It should be 1.stone roses 2.oasis 3.the smiths 4.happy mindays then do what ye want after tha

[@RayyanKesnan]

The Top 3 were clear. I enjoyed this list

[@KitsGravity]

My pick - 1. Oasis 2. Joy Division 3. The Stone Roses 4. The Verve 5. The Smiths

[@whk759]

Where are the chameleons ? 😤

[@SSRT_JubyDuby8742]

👏👏👌👍👏👏

[@lonlanham3157]

For me, it's hard to work out #1 and #2. Morrissey and Marr were an incredible combination and the Smiths are my favorite band. As far as record sales and overall popularity, Oasis has to win this one. Stone Roses were also great, but not #2 great. How James was only honorably mentioned is beyond comprehension. And The Charlatans were completely snubbed. What the…? (If Wigan is Manchester then so is Cheshire). But what do I know? I live in Maryland. 1. Oasis 2. The Smiths 3. Joy Division 4. New Order 5. Stone Roses 6. Elbow (Ramsbottom) 7. James 8. Charlatans (Cheshire) 9. The Fall 10. The Verve (Wigan) HM. Buzzcocks HM. Chemical Brothers HM. NGHFB HM. Take That HM. The1975 HM. Happy Mondays HM. Blossoms (Stockport) HM. I Am Kloot HM.The Hollies HM. Herman’s Hermits HM. Magazine HM. Electronic HM. 808 State HM. Simply Red etc., etc., etc., etc…

[@lucasm5325]

if we speak just "music" and not popularity, sales.. Oasis can't compete with Smiths, Joy Division and Stone Roses.. Oasis'music is good but nothing new, just pop.. The other brought new things in music and were excellent musicians....

[@chalkyboy7]

My top 3 is: Fuck knows what order but they would be The Verve, The Stone Roses and Oasis

[@erindaniel2310]

Finally i agree with something you guys did, the smiths at number one THANK YOU, JUST THANK YOU

[@sasquatch5569]

Oasis not 1st crazy and happy Monday’s only in mentions okay ur twisting my melon man

[@mfdoom1167]

Oasis as number 1 is the most retarded choice. Its idiotic. They don't deserve number 1. The stone roses and the smiths are objectively better.

[@MrDacomkd]

No it's not The Stone Roses, The Smiths and Joy Division are better.

[@mfdoom1167]

@@MrDacomkd i agree they are great but stone roses are objectively there.

[@cityfantv-everythingmancit2946]

@@mfdoom1167 objectively? Oasis had 3 great albums and the rest are good, while I do love the Stone Roses they only had 1 good album and Ian brown is pretty shit singer, smiths are good as well but instrumentally not near oasis or stone rose

[@alastairmurray6716]

@@cityfantv-everythingmancit2946 did you just say instrumentally ? Have you heard Marr play or ever even listened to The Smiths. Oasis are my favourite band on this list but nothing noel wrote instrumentally was close to Marr's stuff.

[@krismarsh4164]

I had never been so in agreement with a top 10

[@tomwilkinson9376]

1.Oasis 2.Roses 3. Joy Division 4.The Verve 5. New Order

[@EJB2274]

How the fuck are The Verve on there but happy mondays and James get an honourable mention. Happy Mondays literally started a movement

[@chernobylradiation8955]

For all those people that are saying that certain bands arent from Manchester because they are from like salford or something its greater Manchester which includes salford

[@thomasorourke2865]

Oasis number 4? You mad they're number 1 mate.

[@akkilux]

Thomas O'Rourke nah u jokin mayb 3 rd not first

[@debateit5174]

jungy nah one mate

[@mmmanutd]

Oasis it's just a shitty britpop band, nothing compared with the musical genius of Johnny Marr and the deepfull and original lyrics of Morrissey.

[@debateit5174]

no se musical genius? do me a favour there music is shit to me. It's opinion and my opinion as would be most mancs is oasis are no1

[@nox4298]

no se imagine being this stupid

[@Neodude991]

No mention of Doves! Under-rated band and they debut is one of the best!

[@dustynathan6442]

When one thinks of great music towns, NYC, LA and London come to mind. But few cities have had more good music releases than Manchester!

[@adambrown1654]

Dusty Nathan too right , Manchester is tops for music

[@michellerosebrown]

Oasis 6:33 The Stone Roses 8:37 The Smiths 10:02

[@nwo4life708]

So glad you put the fall in the list as I feel they are left off many, tbh I think they are no 1 but I will take that.

[@thomasmohan6450]

The Stone Roses should’ve been number one

[@frazerbarker6267]

above oasis?

[@marcusflood3473]

Frazer Barker Arguably yes

[@frazerbarker6267]

marcus flood deffo not

[@luismode-]

Frazer Barker Oasis is better for me but it’s a fact that oasis was created thank to the stone roses.

[@frazerbarker6267]

Luis 10 did i say that

[@Riviere8281]

Joy division is the number one of them all.

[@rockingroller10]

The best of all

[@johnwick-vo7ig]

Joy Division are from Macclesfield not Manchester.

[@mattpoe7178]

1 - Joy Division 2 - Smiths 3 - New Order 4 - Buzzcocks 5 - The Fall 6 - Chameleons 7 - Stone Roses 8 - Mondays 9 - Verve 10 - Oasis There, fixed it. :)

[@adrianhorgan8944]

Yeah, thats a good 'new order'

[@antonellaleiva3607]

I think New Order should be higher.They became such an influence for many electronic groups

[@Inevitablyinconsidered]

Stone roses and smiths better be 1 and 2

[@milaninicole7024]

[@Deadandr3]

Maybe you need to replace Manchester for Greater Manchester, since The Verve are from Wigan.

[@debateit5174]

Still manchester mate. There's plenty of places in greater London that everyone just says are in London. So we have Manchester City and greater Manchester just like London has London city and greater london.

[@anthony28303]

Correct. For me wigan although in gm is still wigan
