From Quiz The Specials

Answer: Coventry

Coventry has been home to many great bands and artists over the years, most notably The Specials, but also the underappreciated Adorable, Clint Mansell (Pop Will Eat Itself), Hazel O'Connor and her brother's brilliant but sadly neglected punk band The Flys. Leicester is the city I live in and unfortunately has little to shout about by way of successful credible musicians. In recent times we've had Kasabian and one half of Basement Jaxx, and further back we had Family, but aside from that there's only really Engelbert Humperdinck, Showaddywaddy and Mark Morrison to speak of! Birmingham, of course, has seen a number of diverse luminaries make the leap from the street to the spotlight, including Black Sabbath, Electric Light Orchestra, Duran Duran, The Beat, UB40 and Napalm Death. Dexys Midnight Runners also formed here and the best of the lot in my eyes - The Au Pairs. One of my all time favourites, The Wonder Stuff, were based in nearby Stourbridge. Wolverhampton's most famed musical inhabitants are unquestionably 70s glam rockers Slade, although recently Beverley Knight has become one of the city's top celebrities. Also hailing from the city were 80s indie guitar heroes The Mighty Lemon Drops, Ned's Atomic Dustbin and Goldie. Actually I could have used the "nearby Stourbridge" quote for Wolverhampton as well as Birmingham!

From Quiz The Scaffold - 'Lily The Pink'
