I'm not sure what "tone death" is but I'm definitely stealing that for my next heavy metel band.

Yeah it is. I thought about Aretha but there a lot of great acts from Detroit.
















Now don't be including Was (not was) in with that riff-raf
While I don't listen to much Rap, j fills is one artist I've been meaning to checkout.  Any good starting points?
Stupid autocorrect j-dilla
I thought about including Sonny but weren't him and Cher in the LA scene? 
er…

Stooges
MC5
Negative Approach
Detroit Cobras
Dirtbombs
Necros

Outside of Motown can't really think of that many acts from detroit
Necros are from Ohio

And in the Garage Rock category don't forget

The Gories
The Henchmen
Outrageous Cherry
The paybacks
The Go
The High Strung
The Sights
The Von Bondies
Also The Rationals/Scott Morgan
Funny how everyone is skipping by far the best rock band in the history of Detroit.
