East Coast vs. West Coast

[TehBurgerKing]

Which do you think has the better bands/scene/whatever? For the west you've got bands like Seeing Means More, Fight Fair, Portraits of Past, Funeral Diner, and all the bands in the San Diego early-mid 90s scene, and then for the east coast you have bands like Saetia, Orchid, Pg.99, Moss Icon, Rites of Spring, I Hate Myself, etc. Let the debating begin, if that's cool and all.

Let me rephrase this. They both are equally awesome.

I didn't say it mattered, I was just wondering what your opinions were on it.

Yeah, I rephrased my answer.

I've lived on both coasts, and California wins. No contest. In addition to what you listed:
Comadre, Loma Prieta (Sailboats, too), ColorChromatic, Beau Navire, Drowning With Our Anchors, iwrotehaikusaboutcannabalisminyouryearbook, Calculator, Di Bravura, ...Who Calls So Loud, John Cota, Ten Thousand Leagues, and I could go on. More great bands just keep popping up.

The east coast has had greats, but the current scene is a few good bands that hardly ever play shows. (L'Antietam, Ampere, etc)

edit: Plus the shows here totally destroy anything over there

Past or Present? (or both)
Quantity or Quality?

most of my favorites are east coast, plus biggie was way better than pac, but i'd rather live out west.

east coast has some cool bands but west has some equally cool bands, but as far as shows go they pwn us
