Aerosmith are from Boston?

I figured they just oozed from a used condom somewhere in LA.

[yojimbo7248]

Willie Nile - NYC

I can imagine someone seriously hating Throbbing Gristle or Lou Reed's Metal Machine Music or another three female group, the Shaggs, but really? "Truly worst band ever"? I understand not liking them but there is loads of hard to listen to music out there.

Willie Nile - NYC

"Born and raised in Buffalo, NY, Nile came from a musical family. Nile studied philosophy at the University at Buffalo where he received a BA in 1971, before heading for Greenwich Village. "

As great as both bands are, there's really only one answer as to who represents Minneapolis musically now and forever:

I thought Cake was Sac town, or even Fresno. Definitely the big valley.

Technically Sac indeed, but they've often been labeled SF bc that's seemingly considered their home base.

[RhinoinMN]

Winner. Sacramento.

As said before, Grateful Dead would better represent SanFran anyway.

I'm not saying they're the best band from Manchester: they're just the biggest and most recognizable around the world from there. After them it's probably the Stone Roses.

Prince crushes them all. Who besides us music nerds know those bands were from up there? Meanwhile everyone and their mother in the 80's saw Purple Rain and knows about fuckin' Paisley Park and shit.

The problem with this question is there are 3 ways to take it

Who is the most popular by sales?

Who is the best artistically?

Who is most indicative of an area?

I wasn't thinking most popular by sales because you cant really argue that, its just a numbers question.

[TjM]

Gainsville -Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Jacksonville- Skynyrd
Birminham- Sabbath

I'd think Oasis easily trounces everyone else from that city in 2 of those 3 categories, but they're definitely not the best artistically.

[DarkHippie]

As much as i love Prince, it has to go to Bob Dylan. after all, two of his most famous songs (Highway 61 Revisited, Postively 4th street) are about Minnesota

[SP1!]

Manchester Orchestra - Atlanta

I know youre trying to be hip but virtually nobody in atlanta has heard of this band, if its just a band that represents us it would have to be Black Crowes.

I would love to say Allman Brothers but they are more Macon than atlanta.

Don't forget "Went to see the Gypsy".

Also, Freakshow claimed Cleveland for The Dead Boys - I'd like that to be Pere Ubu instead. The Dead Boys sound like punks who could be from anywhere - Pere Ubu .. That's only gonna happen in OH.

He's more of a goof thing, because he works at Cluck U on 1 (or at least he used to) and looks exactly like Tupac, to the point where he started a musical career marketing himself as "that guy who looks like Tupac"

[realmenhatelife]

that's fair. NY is really too big and varied to be represented by one band

Bullshit, 1 band 1 city- you just have to make the hard choices. I actually have trouble thinking of other legitimate contenders for New York besides the Ramones. Certainly not so many that dictates that NYC should have multiples.

[TheMojoPin]

As much as i love Prince, it has to go to Bob Dylan. after all, two of his most famous songs (Highway 61 Revisited, Postively 4th street) are about Minnesota

Personally I think New York when I think of Dylan. Besides, nobody knows where "4th Street" actually is. Given where he wrote it and what the song seems to be about I think it's much more likely that it's a New York song. Besides, the thread was asking about cities, and Highway 61 Revisited is going to refer to Duluth, not Minneapolis.

OutKast.

Maybe south atlanta but they wouldnt represent the northside

Sure, New York State. Like Utica or Jamestown.
