it took me almost to hours on rateyourmusic :)

I haven't heard of Combustible Edison or The Amazing Crowns. But The Talking Heads are far too hard to pin down, I am claiming them for Scotland personally ;).

I used Wikipedia, which is why I made a good few mistakes and forgot a lot of bands.

I used to have my music organized through Google Earth. I could click on each state or province or country and a folder with all the music from that area would pop up. It was pretty cool.

You should do it again. Then make a list. For this thread.

There's no way I'm going to be able to do this...but I'll try

Alabama: P.S. Eliot
Alaska: Portugal. The Man

I missed 10, but I tried. There were so many bands I love from Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, California, Washington, Oregon and New York that it killed me.

I was hoping you'd post in here just to get The Hold Steady a little New York love.

Unfortunately, I got logged onto GE one day and all my placemarks were gone. And after all the work I did organizing it, I was like... well screw that. :/

I will make a list if I get time tonight.

Nice choices!

Vegangelica is totes the best artist from Iowa.

I think she may be the only artist from Iowa.

how dare you

*My attempt to give these unloved icons some face time.

and Steel Pole Bath Tub!....very nice

If this was "Name Your Favourite Artist From Every Province In Canada".
Lucas would own.

Man Utah really is a sad musical state as far as well known bands. If for some reason anyone wants to know a good utah band, I bring gifts.

Found my way here from MrDood's link in Trollhearts thread and couldn't help but be intrigued by the idea. Admittedly a couple of these are just the only band I could find from a state that I even kind of like, but I guess that still makes them my favorite from that state :D.

New york- MF DOOM .. alot of rappers are from NYC :P

Japan-Dir en grey

There are alot of good bands from the UK

Austurlia- Silverchair

i live in TEXAS and seriously i dont know anybody big from here ...LOL

Slipknot pretty much but IOWA on da map :P

Well then, I suppose the make a strong case for nuclear war. We can take it back off the map. Awful band.

Well Bix Beiderbecke and Glenn Miller are both from there too so it's not all bad.

i would say that Slipknot put Iowa map just as much as Japan is a state in America

i will say this.....Iowa does have the worlds largest truck stop...there are trucks parked inside the truck stop.....i got lost just trying to find the building.....

this is in its own right on topic....as truck stops and music fortunately do go hand in hand.....seriously old school truckin' music is the best

I suppose I could do this with the help of my RYM music map.
