Here's something I don't think we've tried before. What is your favorite band from each of the 50 US States and DC?

I'll think about this and post mine later probably.

I don't know how I could ever figure this out.

Who's from Wyoming? Montana? Maine? Is there some comprehensive list?

I guess from the top of my head...

Alabama - Man or Astro-Man?
DC - Fugazi
Idaho - Built to Spill
Oklahoma - The Flaming Lips
Rhode Island - Lightning Bolt

Just bands or solo artists, too?

So, is DBT from Alabama or Georgia?
