I'm a big mark e Smith fan but I don't like noisy rackets so I'm not a huge the fall fan but I have seen them live and it was pretty fun

Luke reckons ACR are the worst band on the list, yet he's bigging up Lighthouse Family. He told me that after a lager top in the pub once.

I had a dream once that all the Durriti Column albums were made by Kim Basinger. That's the Manchester band I'd vote for.

CRANER FLIP FLOPS AGAIN

"Apart from that I quite like Durutti Column, and I love Pacific State and Voodoo Ray, but couldn't happily vote for any of them. Manchester is overrated, not as overrated as Bristol, but still. Maybe it would have to be Guy Called Gerald after all, he made some good jungle tunes too. "

I'm not flip-flopping. I just can't decide. I think Sheffield is a superior music city to be honest.

Northerners take too much pride in being reactionary to have any intersting culture. They're backwards looking people

Sheffield had ABC, Human League, Heaven 17, Cabaret Voltaire, Warp. I like all that more than anything from Manchester. I love Juice Box but that doesn't seem like 'Manchester' music to me, more like a London outpost, a bit like DJ SS in Leicester and Roni Size in Bristol. They were making music that was being played in raves all around the country, but it was essentially a London style.

There's a pub round the corner from where I grew up that calls itself the birthplace of iron maiden though?

'Lexicon of Love', 'Dare', 'Penthouse and Pavement': three of my favorite albums, all from Sheffield. LFO, 'LFO ', one of my favorite tracks, from Sheffield.

Dickinson is from Sheffield, and let's face it, no-one has any idea of who else is in the band.
