re: #42 BeachDem

OK, you got me. I was thinking of solo Detroit artists, but if you put the Motown artists as first tier; Seger second tier; Ryder, third; (and I didn’t realize Glen Frey was a Detroit guy as well), then I’d still put the Nuge and Kid Rock at about Tier 15 (because I’m guessing there are at least 10-12 others who wouldn’t make me puke.)

Seger still lives there, too. Per wiki:

Seger lives mainly at his home in Orchard Lake Village, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. He frequents many local events including West Bloomfield High School football games to watch his son, who is in the nationally ranked marching band.

A nationally ranked High School marching band? Already we’ve found an act we’d probably like better than Nugent.

Do we call Madonna a Detroit artist because she grew up there, or NYC because that’s where she made her career?
