Less than half of voters in the Austin Business Journal's latest online survey said the city lives up to its self-proclaimed "live music capital" name.

Of the 635 that voted in the unscientific poll, 36 percent said the city doesn't live up to its reputation, while 15 percent said they weren't sure. The poll generated many comments, both agreeing and refuting the title. About 49 percent voted "yes" the city is the nation's live music capital.

"In the late 90's it may have been for a minute. Nowadays the new Austin doesn't care about live music bad credit personal loan lenders. They prefer DJ Dance Clubs," one commenter said.

Another responded to one commenter saying the city only has cover bands.

"Obviously written by someone not familiar with the music scene in Austin that ventures only as far out to see cover bands at frat bars. Suggest you go see (and support) some of the real music that is being created in this town," the commenter said.
