Yeah, Cleveland did rock. I spent my formative years (i.e. college, early 20s) in Cleveland when the whole Cleveland / Akron music scene was at its peak. Rocket From The Tombs disappeared before anyone actually knew about them, but Pere Ubu, Tin Huey, The Numbers Band, etc. were around.

The great thing was that there was a ton of live music around at places like the Euclid Tavern, Peabody's, Phantasy Theater, and others. The guitar player from The Generators (to this day my favorite bar band) has posted some videos from a show of theirs back around '81 that brings back a lot of memories.
