Another band from the area who were vastly underated was Sassafras. An album of theirs, Expecting Company is exceptional, they were superb live and Dai Shell was a cracking guitarist. Much better than Man in my opinion.
Talking of Budgie, I was checking out some guitars in Gamlin's many years ago, when a truck with the Budgie logo pulled up outside the shop. I couldn't believe my eyes when the band jumped out and came into Gamlin's to do a bit of shopping themselves.
Cardiff post-punk band Young Marble Giants released the album Colossal Youth in 1980 which was well received by the music press. Kurt Cobain said in a Melody Maker interview that Colossal Youth was one of the five most influential records he had ever heard.
Swansea/Liverpool band Badfinger. They are recognized for their influence on the 1970s power pop genre.
Green Gartside from South Wales, his band Scritti Politti were very innovative and influential on the post-punk scene
Manic Street Preachers' Generation Terrorists has its moments.

We had this same thread about a year ago - also started by Sludge and occupied by TISS as I recall - and it listed the same bands and the same insults as now. History repeats itself first as......

Minnesota is a state with a population almost twice that of Wales. That's not much of a haul.
Sultans of swing live on alchemy shows knopflers immense string talent. Love D.S, Telegraph Rd, Tunnel of love and many others.

Slightly off topic, but this is worth a quick browse ..
you are correct. I feel appropriately chastised
Or the Bee Gees. The Charlatans are not a Manchester band.
This is your list that proves Manchester is the "guvnor"? F. See me after class.
Hence why I said maybe. They were from Wednesbury originally, whereas Tim Burgess was from Northwich, and when he joined the band, they relocated to Mcr.
Whatever
