Love this answer, but do you include Eagles as rock? If so, then no contest.

Illinois:

Most popular: The Smashing Pumpkins

Illinois is a tough one. SP is not even top 3 for my personal taste, but I have to give them the nod.

Levon probably is the biggest "rock" from Arkansas (his daughter, Amy, just played Roots fest here last weekend).

The most badass current Arkansas metal band is Pallbearer.

How about




I'm basically calling "rock/metal" "hard rock." If we're going to include everything that's Rock Hall-eligible per se...
