I'm doing another topical compilation, my previous one being new wave cover songs. Now, I am doing one on bands from the English city of LIVERPOOL, as I am an avid Beatles fan. If readers can help me out with bands they know came from Liverpool I'd sure be beholden. Here's what I have so far:

Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
A Flock of Seagulls
Echo & The Bunnymen
Elvis Costello

Yes, I know Dead or Alive are from Liverpool but they don't count-I can't stand 'em!

I can't believe no one has mentioned the dreaded PETE BURNS from Dead Or Alive. DOn't know if the entire band was from there.
