    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.

    Wilco
    Smashing Pumpkins
    Rise Against
    Kanye (he's a huge douchebag, but still a pretty talented guy so I figured I would include him)
    Buddy Guy
    Chicago

    Hello-Cheap Trick,Naked Ray Gun????

    Not sure if I'd consider Cheap Trick a Chicago band since they're from Rockford. I'm not too familiar with Naked Raygun
    That is the city the got a big break in then.So says the Sonic Highways show.
    Im coming up Labor Day weekend to see the Foo Fighters at Wrigley.Cheap Trick and Naked Raygun(punk band) are the openers.as I get closer can I pick your brain on places that are must sees?
    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.
