If I liked country I'd say Nashville because you immediately recognize that as the go to music City of America.
I think Vegas would have a spot considering they've had Celine Dion running for a decade plus.
But once you get over LA as a Hollywood town first, it's hard to argue from a hip hop perspective alone.
Seattle actually has a pretty decent claim, beyond the obvious grunge lineup and Hendrix, it has some modern ish clout with Death Cab, modest mouse, fleet Foxes, our favorite 12 Macklemore, and Odesza.

Seattle has a good music scene, or at least always seemed to. I'm no expert. I saw a shit ton of good acts from many genres when I lived there. Many were local or PNW origin, but they came from far and wide too.

Is it wrong of me that I don't count Jimi as a product of the Seattle music scene? Sure he was born here and went to Garfield but he didn't really come of age musically in Seattle. When I think of Hendrix I think NY or London.

Born there and buried there. That's enough for me the way I was thinking about it. Your approach was to look at where their career really launched from, hence lumping Neil in with LA. It's not wrong and it was your fucking question so WGAF what the rest of us think?
NOLA/Memphis. Tomato, tomahto. And it's not even close after that.
Pick 'em.
Yep, without Memphis and New Orleans getting it all started there is no music scene, or at least a music scene as we know it in any of those other cities. Memphis also played a huge roll in early country/hillbilly/folk music scene. If you're talking history, it's not even close. If you're talking which city later on had the best musical scene LA in the 60s and 70s wins.
LA?? Really. No one East of CO would believe what y’all putting out on this poll.
Be a laughing stock. Good God.
There’s several big music cities but Nashville is hub fucking center.com.
Nashville is definitely in the conversation - but we talkin' HISTORY, man. HISTORY.
Still come back to NOLA and Memphis for that. No rock and roll without the blues. No blues without the Mississippi Delta.
Current hub, yes - Nashville. Absolutely. Really enjoyed a brief visit there a couple years ago and find it way more tolerable than Vegas other than the fucking humidity. But even at that, for a night of tunes, I'd still take Beale St and Frenchman's Street over Broadway - simply for the diversity of styles.
Nashville wins the drunken sororitutes/Bachelorette Party category though.

Nashville is more of a music city than LA tho. Nashville is awesome. One of the best cities in the US.

Nashville.
It was playing when folks were fighting @Swaye in the west.
Are you kidding me?? There’s no contest here.
Longer history and solid.
