Oh snap, Madison is their #4? In your face, Austin! :-D
Looking through their methodology, I see one factor that would help Madison punch above its weight:
Quote8. Bars per 1,000 People
Probably the same reason why Milwaukee finishes so much higher than Chicago.
I also see that by using Metropolitan Statistical Areas, the importance of the largest cities gets diluted by all the boring crap that surrounds them. That explains how New York and LA are both looking up at Duluth.
Since we like base-10 things, here's the "Top 10":
1 Nashville
2 Honolulu
3 Seattle
4 Madison
5 Austin
6 Albany-Schenectady-Troy
7 Tucson
8 Rochester, NY
9 Pittsburgh
10 San Francisco-Oakland
New York and LA were 26 and 27, by the way.
Albany?! Albany sucks when it comes to a music scene, especially compared to NYC.
Hartford is 71 and Norwich-New London is 149 out of 200. Ouch

Average those numbers according to population (Hartford metro gets more weight than Norwich-New London metro) and you're actually
better than rank 100.
