What famous bands came from your home town or state. From the northern suburb of Illinois, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Lesser known, the BoDeans. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqualung Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 From the best county in England I present Jethro Tull John Anderson ( frontman with the band Yes.) Oh! And George Formby!! If Manchester and Liverpool were still in Lancashire I would need a few pages of my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveBC Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Prodigy, starring the infamous Keith Flint. most of the band came from my hometown Braintree, Essex. keith had a huge house opposite the Public Gardens and often would be found enjoying an ale or 10 in the Angel pub nearby. Another chap, Steve Harley of Cockney Rebel, he was born in Deptford but moved to Braintree in his late teens and lived there for a number of years. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a big argument on the old secrets board with Arnold Ziffel as to wether or not AC/DC were Scottish... Both the Young brothers were born in Scotland so I'm saying they are Scots. Arnold was having none of it...... He got quite upset tbh. Then I realised how big Arnold was. Still Scots thinking behind ACDC though 😜 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar argument with him about the Youngs Scot background where AZ disputed accounts that amongst the reasons for their short stature was stunted growth from toxic materials they lived in on their Scottish council estates during formative years.

AZ, being a pom himself (as I recall), probably came from an era when the English thought nothing good ever came out of Scotland.
