What contribution has your city/state made to music?
Dublin has given the world
Good*: Thin Lizzy, U2, The Script Bad*: Jedward (sorry), Boyzone (sorry sorry), and I think we have to take responsibility for bloody Riverdance (sorry sorry so sorry). * Good = bands or artists you don't feel the need to tear out your eyes in regret and remorse and embarrassment over * Bad = well duh, work it out.
