Star readers poll reveals the most 'Sheffieldish' band that best captures city's spirit

Readers voted in a poll run by The Star to find the one band that could only have come from Sheffield

Some bands just have Sheffield running right through them.

The way they talk, the way they sing, perhaps the way they live their lives, they capture the spirit of the city in a way that makes you think that they could only have been produced here.

We have run an online poll to find out which of the bands is the most ‘Sheffieldish’ of them all – the most quintessentially Sheffield band ever.

After running an appeal last week, we set the poll up, in a way that meant only one vote could be made per email address.

Now the polling has closed – and we have a result. In all, there were votes cast for 17 acts.

Here is the countdown, from number 17 to number one. Do agree with the people who voted?
