Birmingham was also where Robert Plant and Bonham got their first breaks in the music business before being introduced to Jimmy Page, and the rest of their story, is indeed, history.

There's also a great underground scene again, with the metal and pop punk stars of the future hopefully playing the pubs and clubs now. My personal favourites are Distophia who play quite a sugary punk-lite sound, and Afterburn, who rock in an AC/DC style.

And not to forget one of the biggest band ever ... UB40. How can you them for christs sake :yikes:

My locals...
Belle & Sebastian - They've been around so long I never seen them before they were big, but they kick around everywhere, we shop in some of the same shops, drink in the same pubs... its not a big deal when you see them anymore.
Franz Ferdinand - Been going to the same art school club as them for ages, and they, along with Belle & Sebastian were kicking about my local pub on Hogmanay for the bells. Seen them before they were really big and loved it.
Snow Patrol - Wow, been into this lot for years, first seen them play about 5 or 6 years ago. They're not even from here, but formed here. I have friends who are friends with Gary, but I haven't met them personally. No desire to.
Teenage Fanclub - Another local band, can't believe it but I very recently found out my aunts best mate is Jerry's sister. All the time I've known her and I didn't know her bro was in Teenage Fanclub till i saw a cd in my aunts collection and she casually replied "Oh thats just my friend's brothers band."
Delgados - Also kick around all the time.
Beta Band - Okay they're from Edinburgh but I still managed to start chatting to them in a bar queue, completely unaware of who they were until people started letting them skip to the front. I totally screwed this one up, I totally didn't believe them when they offered me backstage passes to their final ever gig the following night. I'm sure they found it endearing.
I think thats about it that you'd really know.
Edit: Sons and Daughters. Friend of a friend is the lead singer's brother, know them that way and also seen before they were big (not that I'd really say they are yet... but they will be).

of the bands I listen to a global threat came from my state....

That's all I know about...

off the top of my head the most well known i can think of is
Jimmy Eat World, Blind Melon, Meat Puppets
The most well known punk band is probably Contravene.
Ska = Kongo Shock

Slayer lives here, as well as Alice Cooper and i think Soulfly still do, not sure.

Im sure theres more, theres so many bands out here.

Um...well where i was born only one that comes to mids is the black halos.Where i llive Death cab for cutie *cries*

well techically i live in london, though surprisingly their isnt too many bands from here at the moment- razorlight, elbow, the libertines, bloc party, athlete and ikara colt(probably many more) are all i can think of mainstream wise. a couple of bands that may be big, clearway and the phantoms.
