Me Thinks that Tom does not read instructions too well! ;)
 
OK Boys & Girls. This one is very simple. However, so it does not get complicated, let me clearly state the criteria. Name ONE Famous Band/Performing Artist from One State.
We will do this for one individual State until all the States are covered. In other words, do not repeat the States. That Band/performing Artist CANNOT be just a Local Band/Artist. They have to be known on the National or International Stage. If for example someone has chosen a Band/Artist for New York, then someone else can not pick another Band/Artist fromthat State.

I will start with the following.
"Aerosmith" from Boston, Massachusetts.

Your Turn.


OK, What did I miss? I did not repeat any of the states that have been named so far.

It wasn't indicated that the artist had to be born in that state just "from" that state. I can be born in Virginia but live in Maryland most of my life and therefore be "from" Maryland.

OK, yeah, DC ain't a state but under IRS regulations and Medicare regulations it is treated as a state as are the territories.
 
The list so far:

"Aerosmith" from Boston, Massachusetts.
Springsteen - New Joisy
ZZ Top – Texas
Paul McCartney – UK
John Mellencamp – Indiana
Linda Ronstadt - Tucson, ARIZONA
Journey- California
Nashville Pussy- Tennessee
Tom Petty – Florida
Carly Simon – NY
John Mayer, Bridgeport, CT
Bob Seger – Michigan
Paul Revere & the Raiders - Oregon
Jewel – Alaska
Styx - Chicago, IL
George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers - Ahem... Delaware...
Joan Jett (and the Blackhearts) – Maryland
Frankie Avalon - Philadelphia, PA
Big and Rich - Culpeper, Virginia
Kathy Mattea - West Virginia
Van McCoy - Washington DC

I have never heard Nashville Pussy on the Radio. I'll have to rethink criteria next time I post an exercise like this LOL. Leave it to DJs to exploit holes in a plan! ;)

OK Carry on y'all!

Canute, LOL, You know I've gotta be different. I bet most on this board never heard of Nashville Pussy. But my answer did meet your criteria.

I could have said something like Kenny Chesney or Miley Cyrus, would that have made it better?

Tell me where it says that a single contributor cannot contribute more than one state?
