(37,457 posts)It's more of "how big a change from another region" kind of thing, rather than most popular.

Ho hum, off to You Tube...
ETA: Ah, twang music. Nice enough voice, sappy lyrics. I keep a Spanish station on the car FM because it's better than Clear Channel oldies or country and those are the main other choices.

(50,559 posts)It looks like the guy just picked his fifty favorite bands and stuck them on states at random.
Take Idaho. Please. His pick is Tegan and Sara? Somehow I think the Canadian Indigo Girls are not as popular as Garth Brooks here. (Somehow I think no one in Idaho ever heard of Tegan and Sara - I had to look them up.)
