Nashville, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Detroit and Austin definitely have their moments, but there’s no other American music city like New York.
NYC – the home of Guitar World since 1980 – was the cradle of punk and hip-hop, a preferred hub for jazz, new wave and post-punk and the petri dish that spawned a relentless outbreak of gritty, guitar-forward bands, from the Velvet Underground to Sonic Youth, Blondie to Interpol, New York Dolls to the Ramones, Chic to Kiss, Mink DeVille to the Senders, White Lion to Parquet Courts, Television to TV on the Radio. You get the idea.
