i literally can't think of a single significant band that was formed at our finest universities. vampire weekend from columbia is as good as it gets. what's wrong with these nerds? tons of smart rich well connected layabouts in these places, but they never started a band?

he attended briefly years after they maed it. they formed in LA as a bunch of failed metal heads riding the grunge wave.

Good question. But, how many notable bands formed at a college, period? It's a small percent.

The time and effort it takes to make it as a band--thousands of hours playing instruments in a garage/basement/bedroom, playing hundreds of shows, traveling around--is close to mutually exclusive with doing well enough in HS to get into HYPS and succeeding academically at HYPS. People in bands that might make it are on a different track than people at HYPS.

REM was founded while its members were students at the University of Georgia and are an important Band.

quick google result:

public enemy, the doors, the strokes, pink floyd, queen, the pixies, coldplay, talking heads, REM, steely dan, radiohead.

but in general it seems you're right, not many out there. like you say, pretty impossible to tour if you're in college.

Talking Heads formed at RISD (3 out of the 4) and added a Harvard bro on guitar. But that was 50 years ago lol.
