I was wondering which state you guys believe had the best talent in terms of rock music. That goes for alternative, indie, etc. I wanna get into artist management and am pondering places to move. I'm really looking into California, Florida, and Tennessee. Any others?

New Yak/North-East Coast.

McAllen, Texas easily has some of the best unsigned talent in the world. They have Scarlett O'Hara (Rise Records alumni), The Writing Season, Madore, Mayberry, Dethrone The Tyrant. Such a crazy place for music. The scene is so alive over there.

If you're looking into music management, LA or NYC, and maybe Nashville, Portland or Austin. Nothing else is really acceptable.

If you're looking to get into management, your best options are LA or NY.

I would've never thought about Portland or Austin. One reason I was looking into TN is because the cost of living isn't high.

Band wise; Chicago is a great place... the music scene there is awesome.

[majinsharingan]

New York. Brooklyn alone beats most of the states.

[Modern Leper]

Philly has the best scene right now.

But a terrible place to live. I'd be terrified of going there.

clearly you've never been to Chicago.

Yeah, gotta say NYC as well, but its always charming to hear a great L.A. band. Interesting how different the coasts are, musically in tone.
