The Dude Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Sorry, I believe 311 has sold more albums and had more albums/songs on the top 10 Billboards top 200 sales, so not sure why they chose Bright Eyes. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised 311's self titled album hasn't sold more than all of Bright Eye's albums combined. Sorry, though I like some of these bands on this list, this list is junk.

uteman1011 Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 Fun fact; Imagine Dragons was formed in Provo, Utah while members attended BYU. They moved to Las Vegas later on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be on to something, though 311 was formed and recorded their first album in Nebraska, I do believe when their self titled album came out, they claimed to be from California. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketFoot Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 I think this list was voted up by random people in each state so it probably isn't very scientific! Just something fun to look at! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random people eh? As long as the sample size was strong, it sounds like a reasonable approach to me. It may not be scientific in the sense that the WOKE generation hasn't approved of it, but it's good enough for mortal men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
