Brum Rocks
by Johnnyo 
The Brum in question is Birmingham (England not Alabama) which happens to be my place of birth & I don't believe gets enough credit for the music that it has produced over the years. So here is a chart of Brummie bands. Needs tons of more work & sorting & loads of bands mising @ the moment. To qualify as Brummie, the members of the band should be @ least 50 % Brummie. Any suggestions for bands to be included welcomed. I also have to own the album!

This has to be No. 1 in the chart as it’s a limited edition box set of the first 8 albums. Wonderful thing.

Not sure about cool but a great place to grow up. During my childhood, 60 & 70's, very industrial which is reflected in much of the music. I guess Peaky Blinders has made it a lot cooler in recent years.
