Seattle has much to boast, including (but not limited to) -

Heart
Eddie Vedder
Bing Crosby
Jimi Hendrix
Duff McKagan (Guns n' Roses)
Nikki Sixx (Motley Crue)
Nirvana
Soundgarden
Harvey Danger
Foo Fighters

I know there's hundreds more, but I'm not really well educated yet in Seattleite culture.

Dude, let's not forget Lipps, Inc., Marcy Playground, and the Trashmen ("Surfin' Bird"!). Minnesota hasn't got a lot to brag about.

Well, I used to live in Atlanta and for a while I was in Jenovah and we were awesome, but we were still a "local" band so that probably doesn't count..

At the moment, I live in the deep south of Alabama and the only good bands out of here are local (and they're all solo projects of either me or this other guy who is far better than I am).

I don't think there were even any notable ones from this whole corner at any point in time or were even born here and later became something great after escaping the cultural wasteland this place is.

Sure it does. Just the fact that both Husker Du and the Replacements are from there is more than enough for some serious cred with me.

I'm purposely omitting some that are lesser known or that I don't care for.

I mean Prince was one of the main stars of the 1980s. That is a big deal dealing that he is not predictable states but of Minnesota of all places. Best part is that Prince has always lived and remained in Minnesota despite his fame.

Wow, a whole lot of artists can call Seattle their hometown. Must be something in the water, lol.

Chicago.

There are others, but this one was the easiest to remember.

Ha...funny you say that, because a lot of place name bands are not from the places they imply they're from in their band's name. for instance:
America - London, oF Montreal - Athens, Brazilian Girls - NYC, and none of them no where near where they say they're from. And I'm from Barcelona are not from Barcelona, Spain as you might think... they're from Jönköping, Sweden for goodness sakes. You know for a fact they could had easily called themselves "I'm from Jönköping" if they wanted to, but oh no that would be too logical. And when you think about it, I wonder how many tourist walk the streets of Catalonia looking for the band "I'm from Barcelona" and never find them because they 1,5oo miles off course.
