go to state, then external links. there should be a "people from" thread (at least there was for PA and MI) with categories of people from whatever state.

He's not from Florida? I knew a guy who grew up in Miami and saw The Spooky Kids years ago.

Don't forget all those 70s funk bands:
O'Jays
Lakeside
Ohio Players

Also, Minnesota is missing Husker Du.

Ohio Players seemed too obvious. O'Jays are a good call though.

Manson: born in Canton. Moved to FL at 18.

Hey FT:
WAYLON FUCKING JENNINGS

Alabama got a little guy by the name of Hank Williams, ever heard of him?

I didn't know that about MM. Ohio Players is super obvious, but I think it's wild so many of those bands came from Ohio.

Also, the ASS PONYS.
