    Gone tell you degenerates again....

    Nashville.

    Is this like a trick question??!

    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.

    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.

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