The Beatles

From my county, I'd say Muse. I can't think of too many bands who've come out of Devon.

EDIT: If you meant bands who are around now, then Radiohead are probably my favourite home-country band.

Hmm Springsteen could be said to be from Pennsylvania, even though it was really NJ...

Ontario, Canada:

Tragically Hip
Neil Young
K-Os
Bedouin Soundclash
Alexisonfire
Rush

Those are generally the ones worth mentioning, I know a lot of people like Broken Social Scene and Constantines and they're from Ontario as well.

Piebald? Death Cab For Cutie? John Brown's Body?

I don't remember any other bands that have come from Massachusetts, but those guys are plenty good.

Along with the Stone Roses and Joy Division.

From my country either Sabbath, Radiohead or The Beatles.

From my county I'd say Fony (they're the only band I can think of that are anywhere near where I live.)
