FearOfTheDuck Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Taken from the Time Newsfeed: http://newsfeed.time.com/2014/02/25/here-i...-favorite-band/ The Echo Nest provides a music intelligence platform to hugely popular services like Rdio, Spotify and MTV, so they have a ton of data on what people across America like to listen to. By digging into this well of information they were able to discern what states listen to specific bands more than other states and created a map that displays that data. Most interestingly for our little community, Linkin Park are apparently most popular in Arizona. Because of the Chester connection, perhaps? Anyway, here's the full map: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nikolajlaulp Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 interesting, especially with Stone Sour in North dakota (it's north dakota right? xD) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thedamian58c Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I'm pretty surprised that in none state mainstream shit is the most popular, like Justin Bieber, Rihanna etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wiiesel Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I think more people live in California than in any other state yet I've never heard of Bonobo. ^^ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
[AndOne] Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I haven't heard of half of these poor Maine, R.E.M. lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geki Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 LOL Neil Young is apparently the most popular band in my state. I guess it could be true, because I know a lot of people that live here that DO love Neil Young. As for Arizona, that's awesome. It might be because of the Chester connection, who knows.

Dave-Stone55 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Course Jersey would be Springsteen, dude is still the boss after all these years. Jon Bon Jovi better step his game up if he wants to climb back up the ladder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RogueSoul Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Florida's is Rick Ross jesus christ lmao Arizona, Kentucky and North Dakota know some good music. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bliss Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Florida's is Rick Ross jesus christ lmao Arizona, Kentucky and North Dakota know some good music. Not trying to be offensive, but Florida has a lot of weird/crazy girls that probably go around bumping that type of music.And yeah, Arizona actually does have good taste in music! Living here the past two years, I can confirm that! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lakersfan13 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 This particular map wasn't "who is the state's favorite artist". It's more a question of which artist has the most notable statistical deviation from the the mean. Which means that compared to a lot of states, Arizonans listen to a lot more Linkin Park than usual. But Linkin Park isn't the most popular band/artist in the state. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
