OK not just the City of Brum, but the whole of the Wez Middle Ans region (they are always calling me a bluddy Londoner, so I am returning the compliment).

50% of Led Zeppelin for starters.

Quite correct. But a half group? OK perhaps half a vote for Led Zep.
-
I voted other - The Move are the chaps.
As for the ones on the list - the least said the better!

My own vote went to the Moodies, classic era rather than the eighties. The late Ray Thomas received a fair amount of stick for the line "Hurry hi, ye butterfly" ("Om"), which was unfair since Ray just sung the line, the song was written by Mike Pinder,
I played in a group in the early eighties, we recorded a song with the guitarists sisters boyfriend guesting on electric piano. He was balding with long hair and a beard, so we credited him as "Mike Spinder".

The Bloody Moos are well ahead at the moment, but since only three people have voted (including me, for them), anything can happen.

How could it be any band other than Black Sabbath?
-
I doubt that Slade - a Black Country band - would be doing cartwheels of joy at being lumped in with the Brummies yet again.
-
Well some might say Duran Duran.
Not that I would.
Dexy's.

Dexy's.
How could I have forgotten Dexys ? :o
I remember in 1982 one of my work colleagues was from Brum, and yes she really was named Eileen. Whilst we genuinely tried not to annoy her, it's funny how ubiquitous is the phrase "Come on".

ELO

Moody Blues for me (& yes I do know who they are :) ).

ELO

No, that was that other legendary band, A-Up.

I'm quite fond of 'Other please specify'.

I know that she is not the kind of "musical finest" we should be considering, but what about Lauren Zhang?

The Bloody Moos are still in the lead! Hooray! :D

The one with the singer named after the little town of Morten Harket?

Hooray! (I loved Slade as well, though.)

I remember reading an interview some moons ago with Dave Hill, he said that "Cum on feel the Noize" was written as a "proper" song, but "Skweeze me pleeze me" was the group sending themselves up and was not intended to be taken seriously.
FTR I quite liked Fuzzbox, the drawback was that their record company did the the same to them as was done with The Bangles, a scruffy looking band who wrote their own songs were glammed up & one of them turned into a sex symbol.
