Why every anon that make this threads claim something without saying in wich way that happened or is happening?
I mean "which english city as contributed most", contributed how? Why only cities from England? Are you a brit-pop/brit-rock fan? Why do you talk about music in general when you are just talking about shitty rock/pop music?

A few days ago there was a thread with the following question: "wich kind of drug were most important to music history: marihuana, alcohol, LSD?"
It's the same kind of thread that this one. Why drugs are important to music? why do that anon named drugs that are most use in these age knowing that music have thousands of years? It's just stupid.

Interesting fact, Liverpool is the city that has 'produced' the most number 1 chart topping artists in the world. So for each artist that gets a number one, no matter how many hits they have, it only counts once.

Manchester for acid house, the hacienda and dance crossover

The London for raves, bringing Ibiza parties to the UK and the 2nd summer of love and beyond

Bristol for Jamaican immigration and dub influence kickstarting trip hop, d&b, jungle and more

Then back to London where it all melted together with more of the same plus IDM/techno and the hard-core continuum into garage and grime

London, since so much of the stuff we consider being from other cities was recorded there (My Bloody Valentine was based in London after the first LP, for example, and The Beatles moved to it after they got international fame). Besides, there's a shitload of bands that are from there, besides the ones you listed. Queen, The Kinks, Nick Drake, Wire, most of The Police, Pet Shop Boys, Tears for Fears, Yes, King Crimson, Aphex Twin...

That said, if we're talking about bands overall, I don't think it's possible to really decide. Liverpool has a strong case on The Beatles alone, Echo and the Bunnymen really solidify the case for it. Oxford is one of the main cities if we're talking shoegaze, while for prog, Cambridge and Canterbury rank up there. Manchester's stupidly important; but honestly I think that London has them all beat just for sheer quantity. Tons of bands from there, even if we're not counting the ones that weren't originally from London, are extremely important overall, and it has all other cities beat on sheer numbers. A tough choice for sure.

Peeps don't know much about the Canterbury scene, but missing it is a mistake, at the very least Soft Machine has to be considered.

>>74687999
Swervedriver comes from there too.

>>74688020
Sheffield has... Arctic Monkeys, Pulp, Human League, Def Lepard and Bring Me The Horizon. Honestly, that's what you get for being from Sheffield.

>>74687745
Where were the Zombies from?
Also Londion and Manchester

London is so influential that just one area of west London - Shepherd's Bush - produced the Sex Pistols, the Who, the Clash, the Libertines, Babyshambles and Bush.
