An awesome Facebook post has my mind thinking of all the great bands (or maybe not great, but notable?) that have come out of Michigan. Here is the running list, I thought this was worth re-listing!
Blues/Soul/Motown: Smokey Robinson, Aretha Franklin, The Four Tops, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, John Lee Hooker, Diana Ross, The Supremes, Mayer Hawthorne
Electronic: Derrik May, Kevin Saunderson, Juan Atkins
Hip-Hop: Eminem, Insane Clown Posse :)
Pop: Madonna
Rock/Punk/Ska: Ted Nugent, Bob Segar, Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Grand Funk Railroad, George Clinton & The P-Funk, The White Stripes, The Verve Pipe, Mustard Plug, Kid Rock
Smaller local bands that are awesome: Greensky Bluegrass, Steppin' In It, Rachael Davis, Shout Sister Shout, Seth and May, Luke Winslow King Trio
This info (and more!) can be found at Wikipedia. I may have to make a schnazzy info graphic out of this...
