    Let's see, Bay Area, California.... um....umm... nope. No one I can think of. image

    (Well, at least the smiley is from 7 years ago.)

    I will be joining some Bay Area gents for an always rocking good time this sun night.Even without Steve Perry.
    Went to A Papa Roach show last month.So those Bay Area artists really get around.
    Have great time, rr! What's the show?

    So I was kidding, of course. because some big bands/musicians have come out of the bay area. Some of my lesser known favorites:

    Blue Cheer
    Fifty Foot Hose
    Sons of Champlin
    Moby Grape
    The Chocolate Watchband

    54-40 are pretty good. They're from Delta I think, my hometown.

    Bay Area bands going way back!

    I saw Journey when they were a new Bay Area band- none of us had ever heard of them. They opened for Link Wray- must have been around '74 or '75.

    Matthew Good was, I think, my favourite band from our general area (from the Lower Mainland, not Victoria; no-one is really from Victoria). I also kind of liked Odds.

    Not sure if I'd consider Cheap Trick a Chicago band since they're from Rockford. I'm not too familiar with Naked Raygun

    Death was from Florida. I'm not sure why you didn't list them. They're one of the essential death metal bands of all time.

    Yeah, I'll definitely have some recommendations for ya in Chicago.. I'm hoping to make it to the Foos show at Wrigley as well. Ticket prices are still pretty crazy though....hoping they come down a bit. Don't really want to pay $200 to sit about a mile away from the stage...

    Being from TN, can I count the people that relocated to TN?

    For instance does Elvis count or is he from Mississippi? and if Elvis counts... Does Jack White?

    or do they need to have lived in the state for the majority of their life? or does only the state count that they are living in when they first made it big?

    I think it should count if they are born,live,got big break,etc
    Def you can claim Elvis,JW,Ben Folds,Halestorm,Skillet,etc

    Shitty is subjective.I think if you want it refined limit it to "Your ten best bands from your home state" that would weed out the shitty ones,right?

    Shit,just look at the filth on the thread titles in other music section.

    Kendrick Lamar,Modest Mouse,Ryan Adams,Mumford and Sons,blah,blah,blah.Thats just a few.so some peoples garbage is another's treasure.
