  • I guess we have to have the theme song to the Cleveland Brown Show:

    saw her singing for change outside the train station in harvard square in boston. i think a year later she was signed and had that breakout hit. if you like her music you should check out the song 'sorry'. one of the sappiest forgiveness songs i've ever heard.

  • Like it or not, the top musician from Cleveland was Frankie Yankoic....the KING of Polka....Really!!!

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    I do like it.

  • Another immortal, from Cleveland (though the Credence version of this song is more well known, Screamin' Jay Hawkins wrote it):

    And check this out about Hawkins who was a POW in WWII:

    Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Hawkins studied classical piano as a child and learned guitar in his twenties.[2] His initial goal was to become an opera singer (Hawkins has cited Paul Robeson as his musical idol in interviews),[3] but when his initial ambitions failed he began his career as a conventional blues singer and pianist.

    He served in the United States Army Air Force in the Pacific theater during World War II,[verification needed] primarily as an entertainer. Although he claimed to have been tortured for some time as a prisoner of war, stories of the circumstances of his actual capture vary. According to the documentary I Put a Spell on Me, upon liberation he blew his chief tormentor's head off by taping a hand-grenade into his mouth and pulling the pin

    Are you claiming that Chickenfoot if from NE Ohio? I don't see how. Those guys are from California or NY or elsewhere.

    The other band is from NYC.

  • Some of you guys are really showing your age 😉

    I think there was a song called "tub thumping" by "chompawamba" or something like that 😵 I don't know but it reminds me of the Browns... "I get knocked down, but I get up again. You're never gonna keep me down!" ...that's my Brownies. 😍

    That's right. We were around when music was great.....not like today so much.

    Besides, I chose Northeast Ohio acts. Some has beens, some never was, some are, some never will be, some maybe someday.

  • You prefer something like this?:

  • Lil Bow Wow is from Columbus. I don't know how I remember that but he was just making a name for himself when I was living up in Ohio. I would look up a youtube clip but can't for the life of me think of a famous song of his. I've always been more into the acoustic/indie scene myself. I do dig some red dirt and classic rock from time to time as well.

    I did not include acts in Columbus when I made my posts as it is not in NE Ohio....but that doesn't mean you cannot include Columbus acts. Perhaps I am not aware of them, but from my memory Columbus is kind of a wasteland when it comes to musical acts from there. Besides Dwight Yoakum and Rascall Flats and the mentioned Bow Wow, who else is from there? The Godz who sucked. Maybe there are new groups that I don't keep up with much.

    I think Dayton had more musicians come from there than Columbus. The McCoys and various funk acts like The Ohio Players were from there.
