Alright I admit it, I just bought an I pod. I succumbed. I did. My question is regarding the ultimate NYC play list. I moved to NYC a year ago and I'm blown away by the city, every day. I love it. And it would be great to have a list of NYC based songs as I make it through this concrete jungle. Suggestions please.
'Shattered' by the Stones....

New York by Ryan Adams, Walking on Madison by Kirsty MacColl...two of my favourites.

dont know if this is cliche, but i like billy joel - new york state of mind

I think we had a similar thread to this about 12 months ago..!!

Ryan Adams would have been my first choice....

But..as I've already been beaten to it, how about New York Minute - Don Henly.

And, of course, anything by New Jersey's no. 1 son...Broooooooce!!

Beastie Boys - Open Letter to NYC

New York, New York

White Flag, by Dido

I know it's an odd choice, but I always think of out-of-town people asking if I would move away after 9/11, and how I always said if something happened again (God forbid), I would go down with the ship; I loved New York too much to leave. "I'm in love and always will be."
