    The Black Keys will go down as the best Ohio band of all-time. Book it.

    I did not realize this, but Maynard James Keenan (TOOL) is from Ohio. That is pretty awesome.
  • Speedofsand
    Yeah I meant to include The Black Keys in the OP. I saw them at the Orlando Hard Rock on their first big tour.

    I met the drummer from The Ohio Players, he was working at an antique car shop in Mansfield.

    Wild Cherry is from the Steubenville area.

    In a search I found that Dave Grohl was born in Warren. He moved near Wash. DC when he was a toddler. I've been a big fan of him since Nirvana.

    Ohio is severely lacking in the music department.

    Btw, Dave Grohl is from Warren, Ohio.
  • Tobias Fünke
    No love for one of the biggest Indie bands in history? The National are from Cincinnati, and they're some of the most highly respected guys in the industry.

  • Steel Valley Football
    FWIW, I think the Ohio native with the most Grammy awards is also from Warren, Ohio.


    Any guesses as to who that is?

    They are respected but they are not at all "one of the biggest Indie bands in history".
