Surprised on quite a few of them. I had no idea 311 (one of my favorite bands) was from Nebraska, and the Ramones being the most famous from New York surprised me, but upon looking, The Beastie Boys, Steely Dan, or the Wu Tang clan are likely the closest contenders there. Plenty of good bands have come from California, but Metallica was a given, and One Republic surprised me as being the Colorado band of choice, but again, after looking, not much else worthy of picking.
