Disappointing to see the Girls don't feature in the list of options ...

Just out of curiosity - and I know it's hard to really quantify but if they could only choose from local bands, who'd be the biggest band from Leeds... ever?!

Would it be The Sisters?

That looks like a yes - then!

Well maybe the Kaiser's came close for a while but I remember that when I was in Leeds for the birthday shows last year, the amount of Kaiser Chief CD's in the second hand shops was astonishing!

Thanks for that sam

Despite their recent decline, Kaiser Chiefs are clearly the popular choice and have definitely had more commercial success (which is what really matters in this poll) than the Sisters. As have, from that list, Soft Cell. But there are a few missing. The Wedding Present never quite got as high in the charts as the girls but had more consistent success over a longer period. And, like it or not, The Mish were more successful inmthe same way (no top 10 singles but considerably more chart action and the bigger albums of the two).

But none of that really matters. Biggest act ever from Leeds is, without a doubt, Mel B.
