I'm from several places but here are the main two:
Boston
Modern Lovers
The Cars
James Taylor
Pixies, Dinosaur Jr., Sebadoh (Amherst - western Mass. college town - but we claim them anyway)
Morphine
Mission of Burma
Aerosmith
Galaxie 500
Swirlies
The Lemonheads
The Lyres/DMZ
Passion Pit
Buffalo Tom
Human Sexual Response
Dresden Dolls/Amanda Palmer
The Real Kids
J. Geils Band
New Edition
Mr. Lif
7L & Esoteric
Gang Starr (Guru)
Also, although Grizzly Bear is now based in Brooklyn, Ed Droste grew up and originally formed the band in the Mass suburbs, and they record most of their music on Cape Cod. So that's pretty cool.
Not all of these artists are originally from Toronto but they have all called it home at some point or are from nearby:
Broken Social Scene
Feist
Crystal Castles
Jason Collett
k-os
Death From Above 1979
Metric
Stars
Zeus
Hayden
Tokyo Police Club
Barenaked Ladies
Cancer Bats
Fucked Up
Holy Fuck
Our Lady Peace
Rush
Three Days Grace
Billy Talent
Alexisonfire
etc.
From the Bay Area/NorCal (might have already been done but who's checking?)
Santana
Journey
Greatfull Dead
Girls
Death Grips(Sacramento, close enough)
Deerhoof
Dead Kennedys
Green Day

Don't forget the best band to come out of Northern California: Pavement.
Although I'm not sure if they're considered being from Northern or Central Ca.
