Ha! tempted to bring the class war bit in but restrained myself though I do think that there's an element of snobbery towards successful working class bands like Oasis.
and I'm not sure I hear anything fresh out of manchester though. Got the Everything Everything album as everyone was saying how great it was but for me it's incredibly conservative, as are delphic and the like. Always open ears to new bands but think anything interesting out of manchester will be in other genres. No wonder Peter Hook and the light don't have anything to worry about!
