Best Music (artists) to Come Out of Your City (live, metro)

[AGuyFromCleveland18]

What are some of the best artists to come out of your city? For Cleveland I'd say, Kid Cudi, Bone Thugs N Harmony, and Nine Inch Nails are some of the best.

[Cliff Clavin]

New Kids on the Block and Bobby Brown.

More seriously...Aerosmith, James Taylor, Joan Baez, J Geils Band, Rob Zombie, The Cars, Drop Kick Murphys and The Pixies.

[western mass and love it]

Staind , Shadows Fall ,Killswitch Engage , All that Remains , a little game called Basketball was invented here and the beat goes on.

[ManOnTheMoon]

For Omaha, Bright Eyes, easily. Elliott Smith was born here, but I believe entered the music scene through Portland. 311 is also from Omaha, but I'm not a fan.

[Count David]

Travis Barker, Alien Ant Farm, Skee-Lo. Corona/Riverside, CA.

I've never lived in a real city, but I was born in Ft. Smith, Arkansas. However I'm not finding any musicians, that I've heard of, from there.
