Liverpool named England's 'most musical city' | News | NME.COM

Really? Liverpool? Why beacuse of The Beatles? That's one band, other citys are more deserving. I think the title should have gone to Manchester I mean all the great banRAB The Smiths/Morrissey, Stone Roses, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis, The Verve, The Fall, Happy Mondays.....the list goes on man. My second choice would of been London The Who, The Clash, Sex Pistols.....ect. Liverpool? Wtf?

Naturally, there's others I didn't list and not all that I listed are neccesarily good. Overall, I probably agree that Liverpool is not the best music city.
 
I'm sure Right Track will be ecstatic with this result!

The La's (and Cast!!!!!), Echo and the Bunnymen and Frankie Goes to Hollywood came from Liverpool. I have to agree with you, Manchester gets my vote. So many important artists.
