Ah yes, celebrated South Yorkshire resident Robin Hood, with the airport that's just outside of Doncaster...

That anti-hooliganism rap track Brian Clough did.

Corrine Drewery is from Market Rasen, near Lincoln!

xpost: ...it was Brian Clough featuring JJ "No Charge" Barrie, no less. And who could forget Justin Fashanu's "Do It Cos You Like It"?

Where are Stereo MCs band?

We're claiming Corinne as one of our own, thank you.

Stereo MCs? Bloody splitters! Only two of them were from Nottingham, and the band didn't form until they were both living in London. But, um, yes, whoops, bollocks, missed them...

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Fudgetunnel or Tindersticks

Gut Rot V My Sister

Depends what mood I'm in I suppose.

Quite like the MBVish soundscapes of Amusement Parks on Fire but got to be one of the above for sheer originality.

FUDGETUNNEL! (tip it with the title 'Hate Songs in E Minor')

Bent were great too.
'Swollen' and 'Private road (?) _ i need to hear those right now

Fat Tulips were tempting but the Tindersticks were like REALLY good.

what, no MC C-Mone?

Split decision between Fudge Tunnel and Lawnmower Deth

tindersticks or earache records! ha

Most of those artists are dreadful. Went for Krush.

Poor Bruce Dickinson coming from Worksop. It is the most horrible English town I have ever visited.

Bruce Dickinson is listed in the Best of Sheffield poll, that lad certainly gets around.

Plummet Airlines

Where are Pinski Zoo?

YES!!!!!!

I am sure it is poor form to wander into these threads and demand corny indiefuxtrumentalists with a handful of 7"s to their name, but I weep at the total absence of Gringo Records from your poll

...so I guess it is Tindersticks, Fudge Tunnel or Six By Seven, having been kind of tempted by Lawnmower Deth without ever having heard their music (I really should do, I've been fascinated by the name since a friend's metalhead brother had it scrawled on his bedroom wall when we were 9 and he was, oh, 14? which seemed impossibly grownup and sophisticated then, he had pictures of cars and vague drug-slogan posters on the walls and dirty playing cards and everything. but anyway).

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Tindersticks, eh? More bloody splitters. Pinski Zoo and Plummet Airlines were indeed shocking omissions. Medium Medium, Charles Webster, State of Grace, Pitman and Bent all deserved better.
