I am a guitar player myself, so definitely Boston. Can't beat Aerosmith lol...Joe Perry is a Guitar G-O-D!

I guess I can name people from Boston lol.

Oh and by the way, why does it seem like rap gets a lot of attention in these forums? I know rock is more popular yet I hear very little about it. Beats me

[xS☺B☺s]

I know about is the Boston Music scene. I'd say BOS has an impressive musical resume:

* Arthur Fielder
* Aerosmith -- Band
* Bell Biv DeVoe -- Music Group
* Boston -- Band
* Bobby Brown -- singer
* Tracy Chapman
* The Cars -- Band
* Evan Dando / Lemonheads
* Dinosaur Jr. -- Band
* Dream Theater
* Dresden Dolls -- Punk-Cabaret Duo
* Dropkick Murphys -- Band
* Extreme -- Band
* Godsmack -- Band
* Guster -- Band
* J Geils Band
* JoJo --
* Killswitch Engage -- Metalcore Band
* Marky Mark (Wahlberg) and the Funky Bunch -- Rap Group
* John Mayer -- Singer/Songwriter
* Pat Metheney Jazz Great / Berklee Professor
* The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
* New Edition
* Donnie Wahlberg / New Kids on the Block
* Powerman 5000 -- Metal Band
* The Pixies --
* Sebadoh
* Staind
* Til Tuesday/ Aimee Mann
* Donna Summer -- Singer
* James Taylor -- Folk singer
* John Williams: Boston Pops (Jaws, Star Wars)
Steve Vai

Throwing in the Berklee-ites, you have to add:

Quincy Jones, pianists Bruce Hornsby, Keith Jarrett, Hiromi Uehara, and Diana Krall, guitarists John Petrucci, Steve Vai, Rivers Cuomo, Ian Thornley, Kevin Eubanks, Shane Gibson, John Mayer, John Scofield, Paula Cole, Bruce Cockburn, Gavin DeGraw, Tracy Bonham, and Melissa Etheridge, film scorers Alan Silvestri and Howard Shore, jazz saxophonist Branford Marsalis


Gotta admit - Boston Rocks!

This probably had more to do with my musical tastes but I have only heard of three of the groups/composers in that list up top. Godsmack, Areosmith, and John Williams. And out of those three John Williams is the only one that has ever interested me.

Down below I of course reconize Quincy f-ing Jones though!

No but interestingly (relative to this poll) he was married to Whitney Houston (who is not from Houston but actually from NJ)!

[UTHORNS96]

Gah! I missed bobby brown. Of course i've heard of him. He is not short of any headlines that's for sure...

[OyCrumbler]

Pixies means win, right?

[BlackOut]

Boston wins this one.
