Map of most critically acclaimed bands from U.S States

This is mostly pretty cool though I have a couple quibbles:

1.Frank Ocean the most critically acclaimed musician to come out of New Orleans? Really?

2.Bob Dylan over Prince in Minnesota is a very tough one, however...

3.Seeing as Bob Dylan's most important work was written in Greenwich Village, I would argue he deserves New York over Velvet Underground.

4.Jimi Hendrix for Seattle, Washington? Really?! Most of his work was in London and then New York, and I sure can't think of any other important band or even entire genre as a result of that band that ever came from Seattle, WA...

What are yours?
