Music and Notoriety

[RAB]

Manchester is a noteable showcase for music and nightlife
which bands are homegrown and how do they relate to the local scene ??
Working forwards from the 1960's forwards can you list a sort of chronological progression ?

I could not do the same for Liverpool or London with any degree of confidence....

Hard to remember but perhaps people can fill in the gaps

Have checked this out 1960's - The Hollies,  Hermans Hermits, Freddie and the Dreamers, Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders

1970's -

1980's- The Smiths (with Morrissey)  The Stone Roses,

1990's - as above, Oasis, The Stone Roses, Take That
