Were those the only two bands Fuse could think of for Rhode Island? Unlike bcapirigi, i've lived here all my life and i've (also) never heard of The Invite (Johnny Lingo I barely remember as a nominee from one of those Pheonix Best Music Polls). I can think of a handful of Rhode Island acts who are more well known then either of them (Lightning Bolt, Les Savy Fav, Black Dice, Throwing Muses, Talking Heads [you HAVE heard of them, Fuse?] - hell, I would've been happy if they picked John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band).</p> I agree with bcapirigi.

Kelly Clarkson for Texas? Really, Fuse? There isn't some bonehead around your office who's really into Spoon, at least?</P> Beyonce v. Kelly Clarkson for Texas? Really, Fuse?

@Fuse, thanks for perpetuating the Indiana = land of the Jacksons stereotype.

@both, thanks for ignoring the Coug. (Mellencamp, to you non-Hoosiers.)

I've never heard of The Bravery having any Maryland roots, and as far as I can tell from their Wikipedia entry, the only thing close to a MD connection is that two members went to Georgetown University (in Washington, D.C., not Maryland) before forming the band in New York.</P> Phoenix’s picks for Maryland aren’t bad (John Fahey, The Orioles and our pals Wye Oak), but Fuse’s pick of The Bravery (vs. Good Charlotte) is really bizarre.
