RagsEditors - VERY much a Birmingham band sold more albums than Ocean Colour Scene and Dexy's combined ... yet no mention here
They defeinitely havent sold more.
Moseley Shoals was in the top 40 for 2 years when people would buy records.
Marchin' Already knocked Be Here Now off number one and sold very well.
Editors though I liked but surely they've never been a high selling band?
Not the best band but Judas Priest have been going strong for decades
The Editors were formed in Birmingham, not sure how many of them are Brummies though, if any.
They were brilliant at a sold out O2 on Saturday 👍🏼
Are you sure?
Editors have gone platinum twice
I can’t see Dexies selling half as many as that
OCS won’t be too far behind but Editors are hugely popular
The bass player is a Brummie, and their manager is Blues. 👍👍
Haven’t read the whole thread but, has anybody mentioned The Maisonettes?

Going to be a tough ask to convince people that a band that had 1 Top 40 hit was 'the best Brummie band ever'
Don't misunderstand me - I their track 'Heartache Avenue' but they were pretty much the dictionary definition of a one hit wonder.
(PS - I love that a band with one top ten hit had the brass neck to release a greatest hits album!)
