What is that little section in Michigan that's a hotbed for live music? It's north of South Bend, but south of Grand Rapids.
After looking at a map, it looks like Kalamazoo. Hmmm, I should get down to reading their criteria, but I'm at work right now and my break is up. I don't think I've heard anything about Kalamazoo having a great music scene, especially when compared to Madison, a city that's well known for it's music scene is ranked lower.

What's that dark blue area in coastal mid-Oregon. Eugene? I've never heard of that area being significant. It certainly couldn't be more notable than Austin and Houston.
Besides a generic "music scene" rating, people will obviously like certain music styles over others. What might be a great city for one person can be a horrible one for another.
If were talking the last 3 Decades Atlanta has had a more significant impact then those cities and the only that really can debated is with Atlanta is probably Nashville.
Enough people like LA that it is still and will always be a music mecca. For sure everyone doesn't like the "Nashville atmosphere" either (unique styles of southern rock and hip hop that are an acquired taste, and obviously country, which isn't for everyone), but that doesn't change the fact Nashville is a music mecca. Everyone doesn't like New York, or Miami...
Basically your statement can be applied to all of the music meccas, so you really have no point...
Quote where I mentioned anything about those cities and I'll get back to you.
I'm still not sold on Atlanta being ranked so high, but... I do appreciate the info!!
Base on attention Atlanta is sort of like the motown of this generation in Black music. Atlanta music is part of reason the city is one of the most prominent cities in black American culture.
In the 90s LA Reid and Babyface started LAface records in Atlanta, Their significant involved in career of Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton, Marriah Carey, in Which many of which record some of there biggiest hits in Atlanta, and have/had homes in Atlanta. It also discover Diamond and Multi platinum selling artists like Usher, TLC among others, TLC is greatest selling American female group of all time. And that just Laface, outside that there where other multi platinum selling R&B artist like 112, Monica, Ciara, jagged edge, Xscape and etc, and many non Atlanta artist Keisha Cole, Booby Brown, T-pain, Neyo, and etc etc have/had called Atlanta.
And that just R&B ^
Atlanta has large black student population, In the late 80's and 90's hundreds of thousands black collage students started going to Atlanta during spring break, the event was called Freaknik, Atlanta started having a reputation for partying and music. And this played Huge role with Atlanta and Hip hop. Atlanta became to go city in Hip hop, dozens of platinum rappers/producers and etc from or relocate to Atlanta.
In the mid 2000's MTV did a gathering called "A great day in Atlanta" to recreate the Great Day in Harlem photo.
This is why Atlanta was high in those studies, Atlanta being top 3 is very debatable. but if Atlanta is not in the top 5 current cities with influential music scenes something is wrong.
Are you for real? Atlanta is producing more than 'rap,' it's actually a diverse scene here.
What's really sad is Miami's vote count.
Are you implying Miami deserves less votes? Or that it's sad Miami doesn't have more votes?
