I’d disagree vociferously with the bolded. Wilson brought pop music to a level of sophistication that was so astounding, even The Beatles saw his work as the standard they should try to meet.

I would easily put Brian Wilson in the pantheon of American composers of any Genre. He’s right up there with Gershwin and Aaron Copeland in my book.

Read the rules. Native bands.

Eddie Vedder was from San Diego.
Dave Grohl was from Baltimore.
Noel Redding and Mitch Mitchell were from England. Hardly locals.

And the Foo Fighters are literally from all over the country.

Shirley Manson is from Scotland and Garbage was still best from Wisconsin. Guess the rest of the crew being native to there allowed them credit for that.
