Swezen should be in the poll as the third largest export of music on world basis.

Difficult question but if we're looking at music from a modern viewpoint I'd say The States. Most music being produced nowadays - be that hip hop, pop, rock and so forth can trace it's lineage back to the two most important things the US ever came up with: blues and jazz.

I was actually going to vote for England but then remembered that The Beatles and their cohorts only really reintroduced the world to a form of music that already had been playing for decades.

^ Hard to argue with any of that David, looking at the grand sweep of popular music. Much as other countries may have developed it, embellished it or even split off their own separate branches, the US is the source.

I guess if we're really anal about this it could be argued that Africa is the most important source,but then again I don't think either jazz or blues would've materialised if it hadn't been for the horrible atrocities committed to the slaves.

Do we count the whole music history?
(That'll make it very hard though I guess...)

That is indeed the tricky bit. There are so many ways of looking at this. No clear-cut answer. Maybe that is also part of the charm methinks. 
Ask this question on a classical music site and I'm sure you'll get some pretty interesting answers.

^ That's a shure thing. Also our view to all music is probably very western orientated. I have no clue about the history of eastern music, maybe India has had many geniuses...

Nazis caused a lot of intellectuals of the time to abandon the idea of eugenics, there's no telling where that may have gone.

Regarding 'popular' music I would say it's a close tie between US and Britain; jazz and blues goes to the US also...........regarding classical I have no idea.

This is a difficult question indeed.

I guess I would answer wherever western classical music was born. Since I don't know where that is, I'll not vote.

I don't know if noting that fact is anal, but yeah, the best answer is Other - Any West African nation.

Don't forget that it isn't just American music (blues, ragtime, jazz, soul, R&B, rock, funk, hip hop, dance electronica) that are indebted to the rhythms and vocals of the myriad traditional musics of the region, but also Caribbean music (to focus on the most vital: meringue, soca, son, calypso, mento, ska, rocksteady, reggae, dub, dancehall), plus Brazil's bossa nova... and all of these genres have managed to interconnect and influence each other over the course of the last century.
