Well, it is certainly true that we have no acts that have become national 
stars. This is quite unusual for the east coast, as it seems every other 
major city has local acts that make it big and become good national 
touring acts. And what does Baltimore have....hmmm...
Crack The Sky and Kix !? are about the biggest I can think of...

however, success and recognition have nothing to do with talent.
Some of the local bands I find greatly mind-expanding :::

All Mighty Senators, Laughing Colors, Blue Miracle, Matt Clark 5,
The New Left, Antenna Farm (I'm biased on these two, as I am friends with
                            the guitarists of these two bands)
Love Nut, Pornflakes (broken up unfortunately), Fat Tuesday, Jah Works...

well the type of music here varies...anything from funk to rock to surf...
but many are worth checking out....and plus, it's so much fun to be part
of a small growing scene where you can actually stand right in front of 
the musicians and watch them play...  i.e. the 8x10, memory lane, club 
midnite, bohagers, etc...        anyway, just my .02     later,   -rob-
