Audioslave? Are they still going? I thought that they just had the one album back in like 2000?

Come to think of it in that list I would say Maroon 5 are the only band that recently - ish got kinda big.

I can't think of a band from LA that has come out in the last 2 years that has made a big impact. But I am tired and might be forgetting someone.

The only reason why most bands come out of LA is from all the Record companies, Promoters, agents etc and the whole glam that goes with Hollywood etc. I'd imagine most of them are not even from LA but moved there for those very reasons.

Don't get me wrong I'm not knocking it all but for people that say LA is the best, well that's just because that's where the best go to make it. Talent is everywhere.
