Liverpool vs. Manchester (Battle of the songs edition)

Yep. “Reward” was a GREAT single.

Very fond of this late 70s classic too, off of the Stiff Records label.

Their Kiliminjaro album was superb. One of the very best of the early 80s. Of course Julian Cope went on to be, in my view, one of the greatest British musicians of all time. And so underrated.

Manchester

Mersey Paradise would seem like the most appropriate Roses song to throw up for this battle. Cracking song it is too.

Would struggle to choose between Strawberry Fields and Sexy Sadie as my favourite Beatles tracks, so both posted here.

I feel compelled to put up a couple of Smiths songs too. Headmaster Ritual and Suffer Little Children.

Also Atmosphere by Joy Division. Hard to say it’s better than Love Will Tear Us Apart, but it is fucking awesome.

Ah here.

Is it that hard to compile a list of 5 songs in one post, rather than posting up songs in drips and drabs without any sort of reference.

You are dealing with wankers here, mate. Don’t ever forget that.

I believe the convention has now been established whereby you set up a thread on music with some arbitrary rules that are roundly ignored.

I don’t plan on contributing to this thread as my musical tastes are more in Colonge and Dusseldorf but you’re dead fuckin right here.

32

I’ve changed my mind. Manchester will walk this.

Il Bomber Destro - can we just agree on a New Order song to win this without having to go through a tedious voting process?
