Favourite Non New Order related Factory or Manchester bands

Im opting for Lush, Big Country, Blur and the Bluetonnes.

Pink Floyd (New Order of the 70's), Cocteau Twins, Interpol (Joy Division of the 00's). Hope these count as they have a connection to NO in my mind.

The Chameleons!

Correct like the original post said

Um...what was the question? (is it "bands related to Factory and/or Manchester, but not New Order?" or "Bands not related to Factory and/or Manchester, but related to New Order?" or.....damn, I've gone cross-eyed )

as none of the bands mentioned by the original poster are related to NO, factory, or manchester, i'm assuming that the question refers to your favourite bands which have nothing to do with any of the three.

The Doors, The Cult, The Smiths & Smashing Pumpkins

The Doors, and the BIG COUNTRY!..yea

Blur? You sure? Thats a bit cockney for you dario isn't it? :p

:bag:

Crispy Ambulance.

A Certain Ratio (genius), The Royal Family & The Poor (fucking hard to find records), Tunnelvision (cos they only had one single :D )

Stone Roses, Inspiral Carpets, Mondays (of course!)

BTW I seem to still have my old NO/HM/ACR G-Mex T-shirt but it don't fit any more!

So, let's get this straight - bands which are non-New Order related (i.e. Joy Division, Electronic, etc), non-Manchester (e.g. A Guy Called Gerald, The Smiths, 808 State, etc), and non-Factory (e.g. Crispy Ambulance, Happy Mondays, Durutti Column, etc).

Well, if none of the above can apply to the choice of bands, then I'm going to choose the following three:

Orbital The Orb The KLF

l8rs,

Nick ;)

Sorry, a jumbled title, I ment fav bands that have nothin at all to do with factory New Order, Manchester etc!

Beatles Who Clash Pistols Kinks XTC Weezer J. Richman Lou Reed and way too many to list, really

we allowed salford bands ?

The Comsat Angels & Marvin Gaye

have to agree big-time with the comment about Interpol - saw them on a German TV In concert programme & they even dress like 'em!!!

Wham!
