Help me out here, Im leaving for New York tomorrow morning and wanted to make the perfect "Im Going to New York" playlist. This playlist should be multi-faceted, multi-genre'd, multi-cultural(?) Encompassing many moods, emotions and types of activities one might do in Manhattan while rocking out to his RyPod.
Here's what I have so far...
New York, New York - Frank Sinatra: So obvious, but how do you pass it up, really?
Blitzkrieg Bop - The Ramones: Although I can't go to CBGB's, this is definitely a classic NY punk rock band and tune.
Ruby Soho - Rancid: Kind of a stretch, but I love Rancid so that's that.
No Sleep till Brooklyn - Beastie Boys: I like this song more for the fact that its Rich Aurilia's entrance song at Pac Bell...but works here as well.
Theres gotta be some Biggie or Nas songs Im missing, what else am I missing. Any suggestions?
To be revisited...
