Just to name a few...

It's LA, rather easily. Fight the fuck on.

 
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[/s] 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.
