The entire list is a non sequitur,,,
Some lists types of music, some lists artists, some lists cities or areas. Which is it?
I can't imagine a better way to enjoy music for a one-two week periods than going to a weekend of Jazz Fest, catching the music at the small venue clubs during the weekdays between Jazz Fest weekends, then traveling between Baton Rouge and Lake Charles to catch some Zydeco, then real Cajun music south of I-10. Just my opinion..

Exactly this. Is it places where people were born or is it destinations?
Destinations are Memphis, Austin, and Nashville. Those places are where pretty much everyone that is actually historic and listed on this thread went to launch their careers into significance.
Times are changing though. Memphis is mostly just history now(still the best history) and Austin has lost its monopoly on alt-country with many of today’s top acts skipping over it completely and staying closer to their roots. Nashville is still being Nashville.

Some geographical areas of historic music are best described through naming regions, some best described by naming cities

Georgia for instance is best described by, one, naming Macon, and the beautiful music that emanated from that geographical point

Georgia also got the Atlanta/Athens recognition in this thread, since they're less than an hour apart, but the Athens crybabies are still not happy

The Athens Society of Taco Bell Shift Supervisors in this thread are not happy until everything revolves around Athens, and that's just not how it works, sadly for them as they go back to work spreading cheese and opening boxes of precooked taco meat and being mad

And of course, some of them can't even read.

I love Atlanta/Athens, as I cheered the demise of 80's music in the early 90's, while living not far away from there
