    NOLA/Memphis. Tomato, tomahto. And it's not even close after that.

    Pick 'em.

    I think Memphis beats NOLA. NOLA invented jazz and had plenty of great R&b. But Memphis invented Rock which had the greatest influence on 20th century culture.

    Memphis > NOLA in Blues as well.

    Tough call. That's why I said pick 'em. I'd throw the Louisiana Zydeco genre in there too that had influences on both rock and country/western. Let's just say without that stretch of the Mississippi from Memphis to NOLA, we're listening to some such shit from god knows where....like the fags history buffs who think LA is the music capital....

    This history fag had lots of Clifton Chenier, Dr. John and Meters LPs. It’s still LA.

    Sure - if music history begins the same year as Oregon football in '94, LA can stake a claim.

    Music history began in 1963.

    This isn't really close.

    Seattle makes a decent showing though. Hendrix and Alice in Chains are worth 2-3 of everyone else listed apiece.

    LA is the goat, but I’ve got to give Memphis props, with a little write-in shout out to the Swampers down in Muscle Shoals...

    For your people, Cletus, it’s Nashville for sure. But we’re talking about the country as a whole.

    For sure. Every city on the list is in the conversation. I didn’t leave a write in option because after the top 10 there aren’t a lot of other worthy contenders. 11th place is Austin.
