As of course half of New Order were from Salford. So if the title is changed to 'favourite Salford act other than NO/JD' we are left with what? The Fall, Mondays, Hollies, 10cc, The Salford Jets, Hanky Park, Elkie Brooks, C S Nash & Y ? Any others?
CSNY? or are you just referring to the nash bit...but i thought he was from blackpool--or did he move to salford?

Yeah just the Nash bit. He was definitely at Salford Grammar and left in 1963 I think. There are some comments about him on the Old Salfordians website that he would bring his guitar into school on the last day of term and entertain everyone with his playing. Sadly I can't remember Barney doing the same with his melodica :D
Since the Smiths are the only band on the list I've seen other than NO, and since I had already seen them before I first saw NO, I guess there's only one answer: The Bee Gees!
Only kidding. Mozzer and co. it is.
