The greatest musical city

the ikara cult · 09.24.2007, 07:33 PM

In most peoples eyes it would come down to
New York
London
Manchester
Detriot
Austin TX

All are well documented, what other places have people to suggest? In particular cities on different continents.

Gotta lose your mind at Detroit Rock City.

pbradley · 09.25.2007, 01:42 AM

The only musical city that matters.

_slavo_ · 09.25.2007, 02:51 AM

Toilet & Bowels · 09.25.2007, 05:50 AM

london's ok, but it's hardly in the same league as new york

jon boy · 09.25.2007, 06:08 AM

leeds used to have a great diy scene but it became spoiled and cliquey and ruined. it does have a good improv scene but everyone lives in such close proximity its a bit annoying.

sonicl · 09.25.2007, 06:14 AM

Bristol comes to mind, but that's largely based upon its past. I don't know whether or not there's much happening there now.

sonicl · 09.25.2007, 06:15 AM

Oh, and Berlin. Shame on you, Jon Boy, for not mentioning Berlin.

EDIT - Also Cologne and Dusseldorf

jon boy · 09.25.2007, 06:19 AM

to be honest there is not a huge amount going on there. there is an ok improv type scene but otherwise its not that great. the techno has moved from cologne to berlin though.

Danny Himself · 09.25.2007, 06:25 AM

We can't just throw in every city that has a music scene as a contender for greatest musical city. Bristol? Leeds? Even Manchester is a bit of a stretch, considering how the legendary hacienda club was a load of my arse.

New York City, no doubt. More listenable careers have been born there than anywhere else.

09.25.2007, 06:30 AM

Danny's right, New York hands down.

_slavo_ · 09.25.2007, 06:43 AM

Montreal used to be pretty ace due to Constellation movement.

nick2767 · 09.25.2007, 07:52 AM

Liverpool should be in the list of also ran cities. But New York and maybe London (although NY would probably be the 'greatest' whatever the criteria)
