Greatest ever track from the city you're from?

If you’re from a huge city like London maybe do the area of the city you’re from, idk.

This is the best Manchester track hands down. Fresh as a daisy, but at the same time definitively the sound of a time and a place, idk. Still get goosebumps every time I hear it.

(video’s pretty strobe effect heavy)

Shoot…

We’re not all metropolitan elites, some of us are from out in the sticks,

Hard to say for the town I’m from, as there’s two obvious big hitters, but I don’t actually like either of them.

Coming from Wakefield I’m split between the Cribs or Black lace.

Cracking choice but Manchester has very tough competition, could easily be one of about a dozen tunes

This has a claim

As does this

As well as all the Joy Division/New Order, Smiths, Mondays, Roses, 808 state etc candidates

If I’m going to be more specific, being born on the Bury/Whitefield borders I guess my choices are between Elbow, The Fall & …err…The Mock Turtles

Reckon I’ll go with this

Bonus triva fact: Guy Garvey’s elder sister used to babysit me & my sister when we were kids

Surely Be Bop Deluxe?

Or Jane McDonald. The town’s a hot bed of Rock.

Hard to narrow it down to one Jake Bugg track

So I have a choice between Robbie Williams and Motorhead basically, though it was only Lemmy from S-O-T, they were formed in London I believe so itll have to be Robbie!
