Yes I remember you don't like Joy Division or New Order CE lol

Will there be any Smiths in the next list as that's another Mancunian band I loathe.

Unsurprisingly, I like most of those, though I'd go for "Rattlesnakes" rather than "Perfect Skin".....

because Rattlesnakes is the perfect pop song- fact.
