Manchester United is the #1 or #2 football/soccer "brand" or club with more international recognition (and football is the most popular sport in the world).

So to explain the results: The Beatles and soccer.

Manchester United is the #1 sports brand in the world.

#2 is the New York Yankees.

I watched "Life on Mars," does it still look like crap?

as a foreigner: The Smiths, Joy Division (and then New Order), the Stone Roses, the Happy Mondays.

The Buzzcocks, The Chameleons, James (before they went awful), Inspiral Carpets, The Fall, Crispy Ambulance, and millions* more.

Plus the city itself is upmarket gentrified in the centre parts now. Just avoid the students and you'll be alright.

* ok, maybe tens.

Well, you gotta love Mozzer. Is the rules.
