Freebasser · #4 09-22-2006, 04:25 PM

Well, I can only think of two bands from Wigan, so that means that the best band is The Verve, and the worst is Starsailor.

k.d. lang is kinda/sorta from Edmonton (I think she lived in Edmonton for a bit... but she's rural Alberta-raised).

You're from Saskatchewan, I think your answer would be Wide Mouth Mason.

Mission of Burma and Aerosmith are also from Boston. Oh yeah, I'm guessing Boston is from Boston too, right?

But if you wanted to be true to yourself, you'd be listing your favorite Connecticut artists.

i can't think of any connecticut artists

did 50 cent start in CT? i know he lives in farmington now, but i don't know if he started here.

i'm trying to be more associated with boston now than connecticut. boston's interesting, connecticut isn't. hartford, CT is the insurance capital of the country (or world, i forget). that's about it. you say you're from connecticut and people go, "oh, do you work for an insurance company?" and i have to go "

......yes..." because i did, actually. and my mom's an actuary. and 4 of my friends from college are going to be actuaries.

Bob, you're hilarious!

50 Cent started in Queens or The Bronx, or someplace. Some crack-infested ghetto neighborhood in one of those NYC boroughs.

Connecticut couldn't be more of a polar opposite. In fact, I'm highly uncertain if there would be poverty of any sort within the state of Connecticut.

b-grrrlie · #26 09-23-2006, 11:26 AM

There's quite a lot of good bands here, but an awful lot of them have roots up noooth.
But I'd guess the best is the Hellacopters, they're all grown up here as well. Then there's Tiger Lou, Weeping Willows and I'm from Barcelona.
Worst? Hmmm... I know a lot of awful bands from west coast, but from here?... I can't think of any right now.... I might have to get back on that when I can think of one.
