Batman Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Title explains it: Portland, Oregon... The Decemberists The Shins (they moved here) Elliott Smith Agalloch The Thermals The Helio Sequence Menomena Hazel The Wipers Stephen Malkmus
TheLizard Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 A Washington (not necessarily Seattle, as I didn't live in the city, and nobody comes from little Dupont) list will take a while, but I'll give it a shot. In no specific order: Jimi Hendrix Heart Modest Mouse Steve Miller (born in Milwaukee, but now lives on the San Juans) Pearl Jam Nirvana Soundgarden Alice in Chains The Presidents of the United States of America Foo Fighters Yes there's a lot more, but I don't feel like typing a lot right now. I'd include some from my current location, San Antonio, but I don't consider it to be my hometown. I'm from Washington, I'm just misplaced at the moment.
Rayzor Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Winnipeg (and surrounding areas), Manitoba, Canada: Neil Young The Guess Who / Bachman Turner Overdrive John Cochrane & Red Rider (Lynn Lake) Bif Naked Crash Test Dummies (Selkirk) You probably meant just new bands, but I take liberties if you don't specify
mocosillo Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 (edited) Huntington Beach, California: Avenged Sevenfold (I've seen them hanging out at central park) Suburban Legends Hellogoodbye Great Glass Elevators I'm not particularly into any of them except SL, though.

MindCrime Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Phoenix, AZ Alice Cooper Gin Blossoms Meatpuppets Jimmy Eat World That's about it - that I can think of
Batman Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Posted January 19, 2007 Modest Mouse Probably the best band from Isaquah, hahaha
blind-fitter Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Leeds in the north of England, 5th largest city in the country, seems to have led a fairly sheltered life and until quite recently has never been the centre of attention in the way as towns of similar population /stature, e.g. Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield. This list is chronological rather than in order of preference: Gang Of Four The Mekons Soft Cell The Sisters Of Mercy Red Lorry Yellow Lorry Chumbawamba The Wedding Present The Three Johns Cud Nerve Rack The Kaiser Chiefs Forward Russia! Sky Larkin Rudolf Rocker Casper Hauser Those are the ones who spring to mind, anyway. Leeds used to be considered "Goth capital of the world", so there are probably loads of goth bands I've missed, but I was never particularly interested in that scene myself
The Seeker Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Limerick, Ireland: The Cranberries.
Mike Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Seattle -only bands I like though. Heart Jimi Hendrix Candlebox The Kingsmen Pearl Jam Queensryche Soundgarden
Batman Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Posted January 19, 2007 Hey, I remember Candlebox...whatever happened to them anyways? And if the Kingsmen are the guys who did "Louie Louie," they're from Portland.
MindCrime Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Hey, I remember Candlebox...whatever happened to them anyways? They disbanned after their sophomore followup to their debut self-titled album was a flop.
TheLizard Posted January 19, 2007 Report Posted January 19, 2007 Batman is right, The Kingsmen are from Portland. Yet Louie, Louie is Washington's (unofficial?) state song. And yeah Batman, I doubt that Issaquah has a big talent pool, but Modest Mouse rocks.
Batman Posted January 20, 2007 Author Report Posted January 20, 2007 I almost forgot about the Dandy Warhols
TheLizard Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 Limerick, Ireland: The Cranberries. My descendants on my dad's side are from Limerick. Of course, you'd have to look waaaaay back, but that's what they tell me.

MindCrime Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 ^^^^ Stone Temple Pilots are from there also ^^^^
Rayzor Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) cool. I didn't know those bands came from San Diego I really like POD, by the way! Edited January 20, 2007 by Guest
MindCrime Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 I really like POD, by the way! They're not bad for a christian rock band
Rayzor Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 for sure! Their hard vocals and slamming music sure don't sound like christian music. They found a way to reach the younger generation on topics of religion (although it's hard to find!)
The Seeker Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 My descendants on my dad's side are from Limerick. Of course, you'd have to look waaaaay back, but that's what they tell me. You might be my cousin 45 times removed.
Blue Fish Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 } Not all Christian bands are bad!! Some of U2s songs suck but they are mainly good!!
MindCrime Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 I've never known U2 to be a christian rock band, but if you say so... then they must be.
johnnyguitar Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 (edited) Babe Ruth Maddy Prior Paul Young Groundhogs Donovan Mick Taylor (Rolling Stones) Hawkwind (well, some of them) and, more recently SiKth and Enter Shikari, who my kids say are going to be huuuuuge!
