I think it is ridiculous that Liverpool won, yeah The Beatles were revolutionary, the La's had a moment, The Coral are listenable and The Rascals are a good night out. But The Zutons and The Wombats should be shot. Manchester should have won for the great music by, Joy Division, New Order, The Smiths, The Stone Roses, Inspiral Carpets, The Charlatans, Happy Mondays, Oasis, The Courteeners are ok, James are good, The Buzzcocks, Sheffield being 2nd is a laugh, I mean who wants to thank them for bringing Human League, Milburn, The Reverand and The Makers into this world, Pulp, Arctic Monkeys are good, I feel it is the younger Arctic Monkey fans who voted in this poll, and they probably voted for Liverpool based on the legacy of The Beatles alone. Manchester should win just for their sheer consistancy in producing the best musicians for the past 30 years. But no one takes this poll seriously, do they? if so why didn't we vote? I know I didn't.
