[LA vs NYC]For A Lover Of Live Music That Spans Many Genre's... (best, better)

[LAMayBeMaybeNot]

...is there any significant difference between Los Angeles and New York City in terms of quality of musicians and venues?

[munchitup]

Nope.

LA is probably better for mainstream music. Other than that they are even, both having the most options in the country for seeing / recording / purchasing records in a broad range of genres.

[john_starks]

both are the best by far

nyc and london the most relevant in the history of pop music

They're pretty even overall though LA owns rock music, and NYC owns hip hop and jazz.

yeah punk was LA

This is probably the most even competition I've seen between LA and NYC. I don't see how anyone can't think this is a tie.

Historically, it's New York, but currently, it's definitely a toss up between the two.
