I've always thought my enduring love of early Genesis is related to a semi-rural childhood. Trespass is totally long walks on long summer days for me. Will think about this whole thang more when I get back from holiday.

In a word, no. Totally irrelevant. I'm merely one of far too many counter-examples.

A couple of flaws off the top of my head -
-there are different ways of growing up in any one location - you can be the sort of person who has a rural upbringing and is actually in tune with it, or the sort of person who romanticises the bright lights of the city (and presumably vice versa)-too much music can't be defined as either 'urban' or 'rural'... eg I'm not sure how Tori Amos or indeed a lot of music whose appeal is so strongly personal would fit into this paradigm. Bubba Sparxxx is either someone who'd prove it very wrong or very right but I don't know which yet.
