TheLizard 1 Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites

Batman 2 Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Modest Mouse Probably the best band from Isaquah, hahaha Link to post Share on other sites
blind-fitter 0 Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

Batman 2 Posted January 19, 2007 Author Report Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites
Wyld Card 5 Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites
TheLizard 1 Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites

Rayzor 1 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites
Wyld Card 5 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 I really like POD, by the way! They're not bad for a christian rock band Link to post Share on other sites
Rayzor 1 Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share 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!) Link to post Share on other sites
