Music blogger Paul Lamere mapped the distinctive musical preferences of Americans based on data from their Spotify accounts, and he came up with each state's favorite band. And much to our surprise, Colorado's favorite band isn't even Cheech & Chong or a giant blunt playing a banjo…it's the Naked and Famous. Initiate apathy sequence in 3…2…1…go.

Oh, Arizonans and Wisconsans. There's no easy way to say this but your taste in music sucks.
Here's what Colorado's favorite band should have been:
