I always hated Styx....and never knew this story. So now there is even more reason to hate Styx.

And FYI.....DO NOT credit Styx for the Steelers turnaround, Credit Butch Davis, who, with that big lead elected to go into essentially the "Prevent Defense" in the middle of the third quarter, over the objections of his DC Foge Fazio. It was THAT move that gave the Steelers "momentum". Davis decided to only go with three pass rushers for like the entire rest of the game.

I also would not tout the defensive prowess of the Steelers in that game.

Kelly Holcomb, the Browns back up QB, passed for 429 yards in that game, which is the 8th most all time for a postseason game.

(at the time it was the third most only after Bernie Kosar's 489 vs. the Jets and Dan Fouts vs. the Dolphins in that famous game...since then Drew Brees, Brady and Peyton Manning have thrown for more than Holcomb..but he is still #8 all time)

The other thing that gave you "momentum" is the fact that Dennis Northcutt dropped what would have been a pass that would have ended the game. It would have give the Browns a first down, and they could have then just taken a couple of knees to allow time to run out. But, instead, it being a third down pass, the Browns had to punt, and with their lack of aggressive defense going again, the Steelers were able to score to win the game in the last minute.

Pretty much. Arouses ones curiosity, but not to be taken seriously.

I don't think you would get many on here claiming that Machine Gun Kelly is Browns fans favorite musical act.

Oh believe me I'm sure, just by reading the posts on this thread...and just as well I'm sure that Usher isn't the fan favorite of those Browns fans counterparts over at Steeler Nation MB.

Hell they don't even like Snoop.

As I pointed out this survey was taken on social media (Facebook), possibly this poll could reflect what age group dominates it.

Goes to show you what age group dominates social media.

Funny stuff:

Snoop Dog is the favorite of Raider fans, yet Snoop is an avid Steelers fan.

Wiz Khalifa is a Steelers fan, but the Ravens fan favorite.

Steelers fan favorite is Usher...who is a Cavs fan and part owner.

Browns fans...Machine Gun Kelly, go figure. LOL

Buffalo fans have some class I see.

Henry Mancini was from Cleveland.

When Mancini was 12 years old, he began piano lessons. Quinto and Henry played flute together in the Aliquippa Italian immigrant band, "Sons of Italy". After graduating from Aliquippa High School in 1942, Mancini attended the renowned Juilliard School of Music in New York. In 1943....

....I'll even bet he was a Steelers fan.

Amazing how music brings back almost instant memories, same as sports for me.

And I'm not a fan of any of them, although Henry Mancini was a brilliant composer.

Ah... my fav James Gang track.... but the Intro was lifted straight outta another track... want to say Laugh... but can't find find any such track.

Nobody not from CLE knows The Raspberries... may as well opt for The Lemon Pipers from down Miami of Ohio way.

James Gang? Getting warmer, but think with Trent's NIN I think you may have nailed it.

Akron's Chrissy Hynde deserves mention. Even was in a band with Mothersbaugh early-on. Knocked around KSU before ultimately moving to London where after fumbling around for a few years The Pretenders formed.

Raspberries we cult favorite but I said Eric Carmen. He's respectable but not the most well-known from Ohio.

WSS

I forget whoever was listed for Georgia, but I can't get past the Allmond Bros or REM over them. Hell, I'll take Atlanta Rhythm Section over them.

@westside-steve said:

Not that I enjoy these bands but I would imagine Devo, especially Mark mothersbaugh, and maybe Nine Inch Nails would be among the top best known Ohio artist. Maybe Joe Walsh, maybe Eric Carmen?

Yes, called you back...you're it.

@the-gipper said:

Well, I guess the question is what is the meaning of "from". Is it where most of the guys in the band were born, grew up.....or is it where they played a few initial gigs.

Like Aerosmith. I understand that most of those guys are "from" Boston....grew up there, formed there. But, maybe when they first started they played some gigs in NH.

And like The Cars. Yea, one guy was born/raised in Cleveland area.....but, I and WSS were sure all around the Cleveland music scene when that band would have been formed, and I sure never remember them ever playing regularly around here.

What say you Steve? Do you recall the Cars playing here in their formative years?

You get my call?
