One's a bunch of cheeky Northerners with a sly wit, a classic first album, and a good ear for a tune. The other's Oasis. This is a walkover, surely?

Ah, the Macc Lads. For a long while I thought they were the equivalent to Dumpy's Rusty Nuts, ie, they couldn't be real but they they turned out to be.

They're more like the equivalent to the Meatmen if anything, although not as good obviously

The Macc Lads are kind of Weird Al to Anal Cunt's Lenny Bruce.

One's a bunch of cheeky Northerners with a sly wit, a classic first album, and a good ear for a tuneI don't think I'd call the wit of the Macc Lads sly. "Now He's a Poof" for instance, with the lyrics, "He's got spermy shits." And "Blackpool," "We're goin' down Blackpool, for a fight."
"The Lads from Macc:" "We're the lads from Macc/And we want some crack."
Now, the Macc Lads catalog completely greases that of the Meatmen, Tesco Vee being a dullard as compared to Muttley McLad. Lots better tunes, better riffs, better jokes -- not sly ones at all, "Brevil, Brevil" gaily ripping off the "Rebel Rebel" riff, I thin', to good effect.
The Meatmen never wrote a tune as hummable as "Miss Macclesfield."
If you want heavy, the Meatmen were heavier for "War of the Superbikes."
You haven't lived it properly until you get "Beer Sex Chips & Gravy" or "The Macc Lads Box" which includes "20 Golden Crates," "From Beer to Eternity" and "An Orifice and a Genital."
