Can you do it?

I can't think of a single band from Idaho, let alone a favorite.

I'm doing my list right now and I have Doug Martsch from Built To Spill. I had the most trouble with Hawaii and Delaware.

Cab Calloway is from Delaware so that's easy for me.

Hawaiʻi is tough but Taj Mahal has lived there for years so he's a possible contender even though that's not where he's from originally.

I used Television for Delaware because half the members went to school there. I'll use Taj Mahal for Hawaii I think, thanks.

Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montanta, and Wyoming are also ones I'd have trouble with I think.

Give it a go!

Man I don't know. On the one hand you have states like the ones I've mentioned where you're really scraping the barrel to come up with anything, and on the other hand you have states like California and New York where it's like how do you choose from the zillions of bands.

Yeah, new york, illinois, california and georgia have all been hard to choose from so far. But that's what makes this topic interesting imo, it's strange how the artist are spread out.

It's not that strange really. The three largest cities in the US are in California, New York and Illinois so it's not surprising that those places are culture magnets for their regions. Meanwhile states like Idaho, Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montanta, and Wyoming are very sparsely populated so it's not surprising that there isn't much going on musically.
