    As an American college student, the Smiths were my favorite band and I had all of their albums. They were a lot "bigger" in America than the English give them credit for in terms of their popularity. They "were" the English 80's Sound as far as I'm concerned. To this day, 30 some years on, I never get tired of listening to a Smith's song. One of the cultural gems of England. I think that the song "Still Ill" was one of the greatest songs ever written....."I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving, England is mine - it owes me a living."

    The Smiths will be the best remembered in a huhdred years, and wrote the best lyrics.
    New Order / Joy Division the most legendary (because of Ian Curtis) and most experimental (electro sound).

    I love The Stone Roses, but to have them over Joy Division is blasphemy. The Stone Roses had one great album, and a pretty forgettable sophomore album. Joy Division has two of the most iconic albums of all time.
    Few albums are as artistically great and influential as Unknown Pleasures. And even fewer albums are lyrically great as Closer.
    And they both shaped 1979 and 1980 in their own way.
    And on just about any music list, you will find them among the Top 5 in each year. Even in one of the greatest years in music history in 1979 with the releases of such classics as
    London Calling by The Clash
    The Wall by Pink Floyd
    Breakfast in America by Supertramp
    Highway to Hell by AC/DC
    Off the Wall by Michael Jackson
    Rust Never Sleeps by Neil Young and Crazy Horse
    Cut by The Slits
    etc.
    And obviously Unknown Pleasures by Joy Division.

      2. New Order
      3. The Smiths
      4. Joy Division
      They are not just my opinion, but many others as well. Your list is your opinion, and is clearly flawed.

    The chameleons are Manchester's best band followed by the smiths for me but lots to choose from. liverpool sheffield Leeds and Glasgow would make some great indie/alternative top tens too.

    When one thinks of great music towns, NYC, LA and London come to mind. But few cities have had more good music releases than Manchester!
