>>124462094California is as relevant as NYC.The South, especially the Deep South, produced many notable country singers, blues singers, and 1950's rock artists. Some important later rock artists came from the South as well, namely R.E.M. (who were foundational in forming alternative rock).Lots of important rock bands came from the Midwest, particularly Ohio.

>>124462950It wouldn't a rockist saying this. Rock got its start in the south. The pearl clutchers at the time were WASPs in the North and mainstream TV. Hillbillies and blacks didn't give a shit that Elvis shook his hips. They did that in church too.
>>124462094Agreed
