 or Son Volt, Wilco would be a stretch since they turned their back on the St. Louis area for Chicago, both are actually from Belleville, IL (just outside of STL), but Farrar now lives in St. Louis
 
 or Chuck Berry

[thegazelle]

Buffalo-- Ani Difranco and moe.
 
 And I'll throw old Goo Goo Dolls in there for good measure, but not newer Dolls.

LOL. Sorry....but, you do know how to spell his name correctly. Better yet, you, a Floridian living in DC, know that he was from Druid Hill. Even I didn't know that.

 There's not a lot of local Sykesville bands, so I'd choose either Marshall Slaw or Compression.  But since I lost their homemade cassettes probably 10 years ago, they might not be as good as I remember them...
 

What about Roy Buccanon? Or was he from out closer to Frederick?

[you be betty]

Dave Grohl lived around here for a while, but his parents currently reside in Bethesda, so I think that's what I'm going to take.  For now.
 
 Spike Jonze graduated from my high school...can he count, anyway?  He's dated enough musicians.  Close enough.
