I just kind of hate minnesota culture, so I'll go with Denver.
What exactly is Minnesota culture? Minneapolis and St. Paul differ from their suburbs and are very different from other parts of Minnesota. Same can be said for Denver and other parts of Colorado.
IMO, one only needs to look at the long list of musicians / bands who are from Minneapolis (and St. Paul) over the years to gain an understanding of Minneapolis culture. Minneapolis definitely tops Denver in that aspect.

Look up the list of artist that have made the trip to CO and recorded at Caribou Ranch to see what influence CO has had on the music scene. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caribou_Ranch

There is more to the Minneapolis music scene than just Prince and the the bands that associated with him and the "Minneapolis Sound" he started. The Replacements, Husker Du, Soul Asylum, Information Society, NEXT, Mint Condition, Atmosphere, the Jayhawks, the Jets, Babes in Toyland, Semisonic, Sounds of Blackness, etc... all started in Minneapolis (or St. Paul). Sorry, but I will take every one of those bands over the likes of The Fray, Lumineers, etc...
I've heard of Caribou Ranch and it's not located in Denver.

Denver has been much more influential in the bluegrass, jam grass, and jam music scene than anything else.

I think the best big name out of Denver recently is Nathaniel Ratliff.
In the 80s, Denver had Barry Fey put it on the map for touring acts. U2 played the tiny Rainbow Music Hall before doing their famous Under A Blood Red Sky album at Red Rocks. It’s a very interesting history. Fey was a visionary. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_Fey
I visited Minneapolis for the first time last week and found it to be a very enjoyable city. I stayed downtown and ate out at a great restaurant. The city reminded me of Denver in a lot of ways.
One thing that was rather funny was that it was in the 30s and 40s with a light rain while I was there - pretty much my definition of miserable winter weather, just damp, gray, and cold. I met a lot of people while I was there and if the weather ever came up, no less than 10 people had the exact same response: Laughing and saying “this isn’t cold!” I’m sorry, that IS cold. I realize it gets colder, but that’s still ****ty, cold weather.
I vote Denver because the cities are very similar, but the weather and nearby mountains make Denver a much better place for me.

This part of your response made me laugh out loud because I had the same experience when I first moved to Minneapolis. People here have developed a high, high tolerance for cold. If you talk about cold when it's near 40 or above, people are not going to take your pain seriously. 30s and 40s are much higher than the 20s we've been getting a lot recently so people, even myself now, don't perceive it as very cold.
They're pretty much tied in all fields, with the varying bit in climate and scenery being taste orientated.
I just kind of hate minnesota culture, so I'll go with Denver.
Is that code for "it's too white"?
