1. There's A Couple I Don't Know

I'm surprised to see Aerosmith listed as New Hampshire. I always thought they were from Boston.
I also did not remember Steve Miller being from Wisconsin.
Then, Kenny G had outsold Nirvana. Wouldn't have guessed that.
I also would have guessed Styx for here in Illinois.

2. I'd never heard of The Fray, Everclear, or The Killers.

First time hearing of Billy Gilman and Howie Day as well.

4. Gillan & Day Were Mine

Never heard of either. Wouldn't know them if I was sitting next to them on a plane.
Also, Portugal, The Man from Alaska.
The Killers played July 4th on the WH lawn at Obama's invitation. (2013 or so?). They had a pretty big hit "All The Things I've Done"
The Fray was electropop. They had a huge album about 15 years ago, "How To Save A Life". I had it as I was going through a synth pop phase. I think it sold a couple million units.

5. I looked up The Fray and listened to " How To Save A Life". Never heard it before but his voice...

…sounded somewhat familiar. I used to live in Colorado but I guess I moved away before they got started.

7. Portugal. The Man - Feel It Still (Official Music Video)

This song was huge a few years ago. Won several Grammys with it.

6. I'm surprised that Bruce Springsteen

isn’t the best selling artist from New Jersey. Whitney Houston was popular, no doubt, but Springsteen’s career has been a lot longer and that would be true even without Whitney’s tragic death.

8. 65.5 million albums for the boss. 200 million for Whitney.
