    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....

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

    Music history began in 1963.
