It would be easier if you broke this down by genre. While NYC has been impactful in hop-hop/R&B and Rock, it's lacking in the country and EDM genres.

NYC - Hip-hop

Seattle, LA and SF - Rock

Nashville - Country

Detroit - Soul

Chicago - EDM

So it really depends

Detroit invented Techno and was home to Motown. I might actually place it as number three behind NYC and LA.

Tough one - NYC, Nashville, Seattle and LA all have contributions.

NYC is not lacking at all in EDM music. NYC has been at the forefront in hip hop, pop, r&b, EDM, rock, and jazz. The only popular American genre that NYC hasn't been at the forefront at is country music.
