Probably not objectively up with the big albums mentioned already but this one is very underrated, captures the essence of the scene as well as any of them

If you ask me, this one is the Manchester GOAT:


What Does Anything Mean? Basically by The Chameleons

But there's also...


A Different Kind Of Tension by Buzzcocks

Most people rate Singles Going Steady higher, which is understandable, except it's a compilation album. And the Buzzcocks also gave rise to Magazine, who were less Manchester-oriented but still were formed there, so they should count:


Secondhand Daylight by Magazine

Here's one most people have never heard of — it's not in the running for "greatest of all time" though, it's just a personal favorite.


One Black Dot by The Mothmen

And of course you can't forget these guys:


Introducing Herman's Hermits by Herman's Hermits


Yes indeed, Herman's Hermits. I forgot they were even from there.
