I voted America because that's where ALL modern music spawned from. Rock n' roll was in full sway before the Big Four came along, from the Chicago Delta blues origins and the works of Chuck Berry and Elvis Presley. Motown singers in the sixties spawned generations of R&B hits. The hip-hop revolution in the eighties was largely the work of Rick Rubin's Def Jam productions (and certainly remains a heavy influence upon current rap artists). I could go on for hours.
