This is actually a good point, and one we've struggled with before. When you say "Detroit" and "contribution to music", you can argue that Bob Seger belongs there, and Ted Nugent, as well as Diana Ross, Iggy, and Kevin Saunderson. What Laura seemed to be doing in her post was drawing the natural non-geographic parallels between Motown and Detroit Techno (the start-up independent label, predominantly African-American owners, producers and talent, etc.) Well, Seger and Nugent don't fit this mold, so we'll drop them. But Iggy might still count as a "rule-breaker" Detroit export--an original that allowed for a notable UK mutation. Nevermind the bollocks... -- There4IM (nice post Laura)
