A question reaches us via Twitter from Kate Melsom:
@guardianmusic You are on a desert island & only take 1 City's music which city would you pick? #Bestmusiccity

A good question. Kate says she'd opt for Detroit, thanks to Iggy Pop, Marvin Gaye and the White Stripes – and many other acts you could add to the list.
Here's a few other nominations from Twitter:
