yo la tengo and the feelies have to be my two favorites. after that?
monster magnet
solace
the atomic bitchwax
the only good bands i can think of from jersey are stoner rock bands. hoboken had a great jangle-rock scene in the '80s.

Is there a crappier state in America east of the Mississippi? I think not. Though they do have a great nude beach. However, the music is unbeatable.

love them, but i remember reading an interview where they say that they're constantly misunderstood as a NJ band, i think they're based in NYC

I didn't know that. I always thought they were from California.
The Chairman of the Board is also from Hoboken.

well i wasnt sure, but i thought they were from wayne, nj. i was reading something about them, and it seemed most the band members were from NJ. although im sure it sounds cooler to be from NY :) and yeah, dramarama is from NJ. except they're in cali these days. and apparently playing out there too.
