[QUOTE=Zappa]The Stooges, probably.

Michigan isn't so hot.[/QUOTE]

Sufjan Stevens?

Oh, and The Wurzels or course.

[QUOTE=RollerQueen]Even Montana has The Decemberists.[/QUOTE]Hmmm... I have to disagree. Meloy might be from MT, but I think my lovely state has dibs on the band as a whole. In addition, I'm going to pimp Elliott Smith (and Heatmiser), Quasi, Dolorean, The Dandy Warhols, Menomena, and I'm also going to claim the Shins, even though NM probably has the best claim to them as a band. We may not be Seattle, but Oregon (mainly Portland) puts out some good music.

Rock it Oregon!

PS
Since he's reportedly living in Oregon now, I'm also claiming Frank Black. We also have Floater and Everclear, although I'm not much into either band's music.

I'm gonna Have to say The Cribs cause they live 10 minutes away from me in Wakefield,West Yorkshire and as you tell by my avatar,I love them!

ssteiling 1, Dan 0

PA still sucks, though.

Heh, Enthroned, I guess. Belgium isn't a great breeding ground for music.

[QUOTE=Spat Out Plath]Axelle Red![/QUOTE]

Eh. It's nice to listen to once in a while, but I wouldn't call myself a big fan.

I'm in Georgia so I'm gonna go with Butch Walker, Sevendust, Cartel and The Allman Brothers.

The Get Up Kids and Veda

Seether

[QUOTE=peaveyrules]The Get Up Kids and Veda[/QUOTE]

Right, Veda. I forgot they were from KC, though I wouldn't really call them a favorite band anyway. Are you talking MO or KS?

Oh, and how could I forget Chuck Berry? He's a St. Louis native.

State is too hard.

How about city?

I always thought you were from Boston, or at least New England, for some reason.

I moved to Boston when I was 8 years old.

[QUOTE=theverymono]Joy Division/New Order, the only good band ever from Stockport. Pretty amazing tho, you should all learn to play shadowplay by joy division.[/QUOTE]

I live near Stockport! :O

You could also have Muse's drummer, he was born there, if that counts.

Also, Joy Division were from Salford although they did record Unknown Pleasures in Strawberry Studios in Stockport.

Hot Snakes and Tom Waits are both from San Diego, so they win.

Ohio, so...

Devo.

Arcade fire

[QUOTE=Eliminator Jr.]Ohio, so...

Devo.[/QUOTE]
Devo owns

Michael Jackson of course.

Bloodhound Gang, Poison, Will Smith, Eve, Dead Milkmen, CKY, Fuel... Only one's any good. Care to guess? It's funny how that works out.

From my country: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

i'm from northern VA, which is close enough to dc, so i'm gonna say Fugazi

Didn't Metallica cover a song by Nick Cave? Loverman, if I recall...

I don't know.

California has produced many many great bands. I'd go with the Minutemen.

Also Tom Waits, and Frank Zappa all lived and grew up within 2 miles of me. I still choose Minutemen :)

Are you saying Cheap Trick and Wilco are awful?

From my state, Nick Cave.

[QUOTE=Little Man being Erased]From my country: Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds[/QUOTE]

I'll go with that I think. Quite partial towards INXS though (despite the INXS rockstar thing).

I suppose from Sydney, Wolfmother. I really don't know actually.
