Hmm, I can't think of anyone from Minnesota!? 
 j/k! Actually, I probably couldn't think of anyone from several of the states!! The bigger/more populated ones are easy, but ND? Maine? Rhode Island?

Midler is from Hawaii... I think she is a lock unless anyone can come up with another contender from Hawaii.
Hawaii goes to Bette Midler. | |

I don't know if they're the best, but the quintessential New York band would be The Velvet Underground. | |

Hendrix man, and Michigan is hard. Stevie is probably my pick though. I wanna get a majority consensus though. | |

[Edited 11/19/05 20:27pm] Carmen Electra, Ohio? They must be in pretty bad shape! BTW, I love Madonna but keep in mind a lot of Motown artists where from Detroit. | |

well, I wanna put together a list and under the restraints of birth location, it should be easier for us to come to a majority opinion on who's best from where. Listing one's favorites only lessen any debates that may arise. I have Bette Midler down for Hawaii already, does anyone disagree with that? [Edited 11/19/05 21:48pm] | |
