A few to choose from and if we are going by cool factor and not popularity then Mojo Nixon and the Beat Farmers trumps Blink 182.
God bless Mojo but I would say Rocket From the Crypt trumps em all.

Destiny's Child
ZZ Top
a whole bunch of crunk rappers

Go Houston!

Actually, the father of my friend down the street was a private investigator and did some work for ZZ Top. This was in the early 80s during their popularity peak. It was pretty cool when I was 12.

One that eluded me.

We also have:

Ric Ocasek
Greg Kihn
Will Oldham (aka Bonny Prince Billy)

There was also someone from The Commodores but I don't know who. Never bothered with them. I just know that a good friend of mine works with someone (or used to) who was married to one of them. Don't know how he ended up here or for how long.

Not Woodbridge, Springfield. North Springfield to be exact. Currently weathering the after-effects of something called a "microburst".
Looks like a bomb went off. A bomb made of branches and twigs and leafs of all varieties.

I used to know some guys who rented her old house. Every time I was there I always thought about that terrible movie she did with Michael J. Fox.

I'm blanking on where you are from…(sonick too -where did you decide to hail from?)

Anyhow, I have two hometowns (yah, yah, tone it down)…MT = The Decemberists, off the top of my head; AZ= Gin Blossoms or Jimmy Eat World.
