Another argument (sort of) for Manchester; it was the location of two of the most important concerts in rock history.

1966; Bob Dylan & The Hawks; the so-called Royal Albert Hall concert actually occurred in Manchester. The "Judas!" remark immortalized the show.

1976; The Sex Pistols play a gig at the Lesser Free Trade Hall. The show inspires the immediate formation of Buzzco****s and Joy Division, and also inspires Mark E. Smith and Steven Morrissey. I've heard people argue that it was the most important gig of the era, and it's pretty hard to argue with that.
