OT: Musical Poker: 5 Band Stud

[HuskyHawk]

Since it's finals week, and @mauconnfan encouraged some OT threads, here we go. The challenge is to come up with five bands (Bob Seger Silver Bullet Band or Bruce - E Street counts, James Taylor does not) from a given city (metro area), and see which location comes out on top. U.S. only. For Example:

Boston:

• Boston
• Aerosmith
• The Cars
• J. Geils Band
• Pixies/Mighty Mighty Bosstones (pick one)

Athens GA:

• REM
• B52s
• ??

Have at it. Expecting LA will do very well, interested to see what surprises there are.

Birmingham:

Black Sabbath
ELO
Judas Priest
Led Zeppelin
Moody Blues

That's why I said U.S. only! International champion (and that may be it) can face off against the U.S. winner. Maybe do a final four.

Where's Birmingham? LOL

San Francisco:

Grateful Dead
Sly & The Family Stone
Santana
Janis Joplin/Big Brother & The Holding Company
Jefferson Airplane

Those acts are all of a certain, um, "vintage," but they're all Hall of Famers.

SF's JV team would be pretty good, too. And this excludes Oakland/San Jose, etc.

Jacksonville FL:

Allman Brothers
Lynyrd Skynyrd

Shinedown

And you already have me British team!

I'd replace Blondie with Simon & Garfunkel or Velvet Underground if S&G aren't a "band". But that's just personal preference.

Athens Ga also was the home of neutral milk hotel. One of the most influential bands of the 2000s in Brooklyn.

He's New York to me. I think it has to be where the person/band is based and associated with.
