Tokyo, London and New York

>he thinks Tokyo can even compare to New York and London
as someone who actually lived there, it's not. it's really unique and great but it's not "important" if you know what I mean. That would have to be New York, London, and Los Angeles.

>>73617449
>London
No. Just because it's the capital doesn't mean anything has come from it.

>>73617449
Oslo

>>73617449
Tokyo? Why? Asia is terrible for music

>>73617649
a lot has and practically every British artist records there anyway. so yeah, it's important.

You're forgetting Berlin, Germany

>>73617811
it's called yellow fever. it clouds OP's judgement.

>>73617851
Cologne has more weight on that, honestly. Top 5 is probably New York, London, Cologne, Los Angeles and Tokyo, personally.

>>73617977
It has a lot https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_music_artists_and_bands_from_London

but yeah Manchester is top tier along with Britain in general. Tokyo though ??????????????????

>>73618058
Tokyo is pretty much the most influential place culturally speaking for anything in East Asia, but it also has influence in the world as a whole even if you ignore the weebs. If you go through /mu/core Japan just loses to the US, the U.K, Germany and Canada in terms of numbers of albums.

>>73617903
we're not talking personally. OP said importance.

>>73618143
>Tokyo is pretty much the most influential place culturally speaking for anything in East Asia
it's called Westernization

>>73618217
The personally bit is more of a "in my opinion", really, but yeah, really should've thought more about that.

>>73618245
You're not wrong. The thing with Tokyo (and Japan as a whole) is that there aren't many places that I can say have had nearly as much influence on the post-WW2 cultural world, and most of them have been listed here. Paris is a possible one, as is Manchester, and maybe Oxford. Chicago and Rome also feature heavily, and so does Houston.

Yeah, defining the top 5 is harder than it seems.

Tokyo produces better music nowadays than the other two. Historically however, New York is the center of popular music. Vienna however is more important than any other city in Western music.

Institution spread is unaffected by tech group and you cannot change your tech group through any mechanic of westernisation. Try again.

Are we saying in terms of current or historical significance?

If the latter, Memphis and New Orleans are way more important than London or fucking Tokyo.

Hardly any good artists come from New York, they hust record there because it's where most major record labels operate. Plus all the Jewish songwriters live there.

>>73623040
Yeah, but that's the point. No one cares if some band comes from Atlanta. The fact that they record all their music in New York and their biggest shows are in NY too makes NY a more important place (musically) than ATL.

>>73617449
Nah man, county of Essex is where the good music's at in Britain. Also LA > NY.

I would say that non-autism techno electronic music in it's current form is pretty damn relevant, even if it's not very good.

You forgot Liverpool

Actually in actual fact Africa is the most important part in the world for music as all musical and cultural influences came and started from Africa. Whether we like it or not, without Africa we wouldn't have the music that is happening right now, from the past or the future.

>New York
Maybe at some point but I can't think of a single musician of significant cultural importance to come of of NYC in the past decade. Atlanta, Chicago, Miami and Los Angeles are all producing better artists right now.

Manchester is much more important than London, London is shit.

>>73625074

>>73617449
