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
Gotta admit - Boston Rocks!
You forgot the New Kids on the Block
Tracy Chapman is from Cleveland.
John Mayer is from Bridgeport, CT.
edit: (I mean, I went on Wednesday. It was great. But you really think one of the biggest acts in the world coming to a major city means Boston has a good "scene". 67 year old Brits from the greatest band of all time are not making the local music scene significant.)
The Boston area historically has produced a number of rock bands of different genres, some great (Mission of Burma), some good (The Cars, Dinosaur Jr, Modern Lovers), some overrated (Aerosmith, the Pixies), and some boring but popular (the band Boston), but it has a long, rich history. Houston really doesn't have a remotely comparable history.
I am baffled by the fact that Houston has any votes. Boston has one of strongest music scenes in the world. Aside from all of the artists Bostonian08 posted, Boston has a very strong underground community not affiliated with any of there top notch schools. I know in terms of hardcore and metal music, Boston pumps out bands.
Location: Concrete jungle where dreams are made of.

Good point... I swear most of those votes are probably those from Texas. Remember, TX is over-represented on this site.
^Really??? they're some of the most famous musicians. If you heard their songs, you'd probably know them.
I've heard of Donna Summers, Aerosmith, Godsmack, Tracy Chapman, JoJo, John Mayer, New Edition, Marky Mark, New Kids, and Staind sounds familar.
