Celebrate the music of your country/city/state

Trollheart · 04-26-2015, 06:16 PM

Whether it's an old classic band, a solo artist, an unknown and obscure outfit, a band who have broken up or one on the cusp of greatness. Electronic, acoustic, heavy metal, traditional, punk, hip-hop, anything you like to showcase the music that rules (or sucks) where you come from.

Some Irish acts you may know, and some you may not:
The late, great Rory Gallagher

His equally brilliant axe buddy from across the border, Gary Moore (RIP)

The mighty Aslan

Neil Hannon, aka The Divine Comedy

The much-missed (here anyway) Winters Reign

The Dubliners of course

Runaway GO

Here's some New Jersey music that isn't Bruce Springsteen, Frank Sinatra or Bon Jovi. (Okay, it's a celebration of the current and past New Jersey punk scene.)

There are so many of my favorite bands that came out of Seattle, i'll do my best to narrow it down to a few videos:

Spoiler for seattle bands:

And of course, you got the obvious ones like Alice In Chains, Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Soundgarden. Seattle has certainly been a great place for music for many many years.

Spoiler for because all these videos are slowing down my browser: Gordon wrote these two songs about my little town. I've seen him live a couple times at small local venues and even met him. He's quite a local celebrity--even has a walking trail named after him. __________________ Everybody's dying just to get the disease
