Indianapolis, Indiana USA
Indiana as a state has also spawned Michael Jackson (actually all of the Jacksons), Axl (as noted above), David Lee Roth & Johnny Cougar which is a pretty odd lot.

And then there's my 'other' home town of Penarth, the other side of Cardiff, where I lived for 18 years, whose twin claims to fame are the Paget Rooms (see Man's "Live at the Paget Rooms, Penarth" live album) and being the birth place of Christian rocker Martyn "Dolphins make me cry" Joseph who used to come to our school and play Cliff Richard songs in our assemblies, and hand out signed LPs to teachers who promptly binned them (I know, I saw them do it).

Now I live in East Devon & it isn't much better, apparently the woman who danced with Hawkwind is from Exeter. Oh, and Eddie and the Hot Rods play the pub down the road from me on Friday (but aren't they from Southend ?)

I've now moved to the west end of Glasgow and can't even pop out to the local newsagent without tripping over a (very) minor celebrity. But it doesn't seem quite so exciting as the time in 1978, sitting on the train from Dunfermline to Edinburgh and Fay Fife said hello to me because I was carrying the Atlantic records 'This is Soul' album. She said it was cool that young punks were into Soul and that this was one of her favourite records. I was so thrilled she thought I was a 'young punk' that I didn't tell her it was my only soul album at the time.

The only other band I can think of (apart from a few dodgy 2nd generation punk bands) was "The Milltown brothers"

Erm ... I used to live just outside Dartford where Mick Jagger and Keith Richards came from. I think that counts.
