NO @ no.11 in Manc chart of 2005

Terry Christian, the tone deaf tosser, has placed NO at no.11 in his Manc chart for 2005, behind nomarks suck as I Am Kloot, Jim Noir, and Lookfreekz. Elbow are at no.1 and Oasis, depressingly predictably are at no.3:

Who tops Manc chart? Manchester Evening News 4th Jan 2006

THERE can be no doubt that Manchester's music scene remains one of the strongest in the country after a top 40 of purely Manc tunes of the year was compiled.

The list was created by BBC GMR DJs Terry Christian and Conrad Murray for a live countdown on Monday.

And it was Elbow who captured the coveted number one spot with their single Forgot Myself.

Unsatisfied

Up-and-coming Manchester band Nine Black Alps came in at number two with Unsatisfied, with megastars Oasis having to be content with number three for The Importance Of Being Idle.

Conrad tells me he and Terry were spoilt for choice to come up with just 40 for the list - even though they imposed a limit of one song for each band for the chart.

"It's been a great year for Manchester music," says Conrad.

Here is the list in full:

1. Elbow – Forget Myself
2. Nine Black Alps – Unsatisfied
3. Oasis – The Importance of Being Idle
4. The Doves – Black and White Town
5. Lovefreekz - Shine

14. My Computer – Stumble
15. The Longcut – Quiet Life
16. The Fall – I Can Hear The Grass Grow
17. Broke n English – Squeeze
18. The Earlies – Bring It Back Again
19. Raw T – Where We Live
20. The Pioneers – So Long
21. Aidan Smith – Song For Manchester
22. Starsailor – Caught in the Crossfire

Even fookin Rowetta deserves a spot above Jizzstream!

Quite an achievement for NO. Now, what's with the strange coincidence of having Young Offenders Institute on the charts with them? I could see a connection...

What makes I Am Kloot "no marks"?

Am I bothered ?

I rated Terry Christian 12th in my 2005 former the word presenter, turned sometime uk gold voiceover man not famous anymore, annoying voice poll

Made me remember the spitting image sketch where TC was interviewing Terry Waite after his release: So, err, Terry. in captivity for years, no daylight, bare minimum food and water. So, err, what do you think of the new Happy Mondays album? Classic
