Best Uk City For Music

[King Of Kings]

The most Consistent UK city for producing really great bands is.

for me its either London or Manchester

Both created not only good music but a culture that was absorbed into the fabric of every day life and changed the way we live

Manchester gave us - Post Punk / Madchester and Britpop

London gave us- Punk / Mods / Glam / New Romantics

Birmingham gave us Metal

Liverpool Merybeat and the pop revolution

[Mr. Brian]

There must be hundreds and hundreds of bands from London so it's hard to compare with the other cities. I don't think it should be included. If I disqualify London because of it's size, then I would have to go with Manchester. The Bee Gees are from there, come on!

[JackT]

I don't recognize any of those names.

[JackT]

Uh, hello? There's a little band called DEF LEPPARD from a little place called Sheffield.

Yeah, thanks for that Manchester.

I hope they don't order that fried Monte Cristo sandwich. I've heard that Britain is watching their cholesterol

I'm sorry but, even though this is a Bunnymen forum & we obviously know where they're from, I'd have to say Manchester b/c of the music dervived & the spirit elemented from there...

Mr. Hilton: Oh, we use only the finest baby frogs, dew-picked and flown from
Iraq, cleansed in the finest quality spring water, lightly killed,
and sealed in a succulent, Swiss, quintuple-smooth, treble-milk
chocolate envelope, and lovingly frosted with glucose.

Inspector: That's as may be, but it's still a frog!

Mr. Hilton: What else?

Inspector: Well, don't you even take the bones out?

Mr. Hilton: If we took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy, would it?

It's true but did you also know that they are shite?

Yet, for me personally speaking, I want to move to Liverpool b/c I love it's clever, wit & soul. My one Aunt retired to an area in Italy so, that's what I'm looking to do too (retire to Liverpool) & I have a fiscal plan developed (so far) for this endeavor already (b/c it's my one main dream) likewise, she gave me good advice on resources on how to move/retire to another country. That is something good enough too!

You should really do some more research before deciding to move to Liverpool - read the Liverpool Echo newspaper on line - it will give some insight into the type of place it is. Don't get me wrong - I love Liverpool and was born down there but moved away when I was seven. I visit family down there quite a lot and often spend the weekend there. And it is a great place to visit but it has a dark side (as do all cities). My cousin was shot dead in a random shooting in a Liverpool pub several years ago (wrong place, wrong time), one of my young cousins has had a gun pointed at her in school, my aunties next door neighbour got raided just last week for drugs and was found in possession of guns aswell. I wouldn't choose to move back down there. Oh yeah - another one of my cousins and his friend were just putting their bikes away one day last year and a gang came and took their bikes and knifed my cousin and his friend. Cousin ended up with his hands and chest all slashed - luckily he made a full recovery. Maybe its just my family having bad luck I don't know (we are big family by the way).
