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

Little Man being Erased 10-16-2005 07:46 PM

I don't know.

Anxious 10-16-2005 07:50 PM

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 :)

AndreTheHyena 10-17-2005 12:49 AM

Are you saying Cheap Trick and Wilco are awful?

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.

Don't complain, you spawned Bono!

Wait. F[FONT="Verdana"]u[/FONT]ck you.

Canada has some big selling artists... Celine Dion, Bryan Adams, Shania Twain etc. None of them are particularly good.

[QUOTE=Med57]From England, probably Radiohead or some other really little known band like that. From London/South-East England, I think Pink Floyd originated from London. So them.[/QUOTE]


I may be wrong, but I have a feeling Pink Floyd are from Cambridge...

I grew up in Hong Kong, who have absolutely no one anyone here will know... Except apart from William Hung....:lol:

I now live in Southampton, another musically barren zone...

I live in Hong Kong now, and I can vouch for its barreness. However, I have a buddy who lives in Southampton who makes some pretty decent music. I don't know how big either his solo show (A Lily) or his band (Yndi Halda) are there, since I normally live in the States and have never been to your fine town personally.
