TLC, Missy Elliot, Timberlin, the Buzzcocks, ZZ Top, Elvis, Otis Redding, Buddy Holly, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Limp Bizkit (the last two from here in Jacksonville). Shall go on?

Jazz, blues, gospel, folk, country/western and rock n'roll all originated here.

That doesn't mean that Chicago blues or New York jazz isn't some of the finest music in the world. Even my favorite music, punk, arose simultaneously in NYC, LA, and Texas.

I know, I know. I've voted for the south myself. Just something I wanted to comment on. this little coinsidence.

They can disagree all they want, but British punk arose at least one year after American punk.

I mean, taking together the entire musical output of The South (defined as per the normal american definition which I can't specify exactly, though I suspect the confederacy might have something to do with it) since it was first colonised by humans several thousand years ago to today, is it better or worse than the output of the rest of the country? What you value in music varies from person to person, I'd vote The South even if I didn't care about the level of influence.

And Cleveland, surely. Anyway I'm not sure about the simultaneousness of LA punk, they'd all listened quite a bit to the eastern stuff before they started I believe.

I'm a bit curious about the Texas bit, not come accross that before. Tell me more.

I don't think so. My family makes an excellent barbeque... I love barbeque! But nothing makes up for a gross lack of ethnic cuisine and mastery of seafood. I'll stay in my land of olive oil and garlic, thank you very much...

The south as a whole sucks. But ...

New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz and the home of delta blues. Los Hombres Callientes, Kermit Ruffins, any Marsalis ... Of course, given that New Orleans doesn't suck ...

Although the fact that the south sucks might explain why the music can be good.

Oh, and punk originated in New York, baby! Of course listening to the Ramones its obvious that the Brits made punk good.

Texas Punk

I hung out in the Austin Punk scene back in the day, but other than Pumping Ethyl (who were from Dallas), The Nimoys/Little Boy Henry/The Ritalin Kids/Riddlin' Kids, 30 Ft. Fall, and Dynamite boy - what Texas punk?

Oh and the food sucks outside Louisiana. Give me some Boudin, Blackened Redfish, and bread pudding anyday.

But hold the BBQ.

Doesn't southern music primarily consist of a guy shouting " YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW
