I think you already posted the best song, and the best singer of it.

"Sleep Tight in New York City by Black 47.

Not a very well known song but a good one!

One of the most underrated Bruce Springsteen tunes of all time. I'm not a big fan but this song is awesome:

New York City Serenade

They say the neon lights are bright
On Broadway

They say there’s always magic in the air

But when you’re walkin’ down that street
And you ain’t have enough to eat
The glitter rubs right off and you’re nowhere

They say the women treat you fine
On Broadway

But lookin’ at them just gives me the blues

How ya gonna make some time
When all you got is one thin dime

And one thin dime won’t even shine your shoes

They say that I won’t last too long
On Broadway

I’ll catch a Greyhound bus for home they all say

But they’re dead wrong, I know they are
‘Cause I can play this here guitar

And I won’t quit till I’m a star

On Broadway

On Broadway

On Broadway

[Leaning Right]

Well, if you want a song, the only one I’m in the mood to post is this one.

Thanks for both the Vegas and NYC music threads.

Checkout this video filmed around manhattan and brooklyn, days before 9/11/01. It's a rockin' love song for the city.

Ryan Adams' New York New York

[Alberta's Child]

The song itself is not particularly about New York City, but it will always have a NYC sound to me ... and the video was filmed at several landmarks in the East Village.

Great bit of trivia: The brownstone where the first half of the video is filmed is the same building that's on the cover of the Led Zeppelin album Physical Graffiti.

Waiting On A Friend -- Rolling Stones

[Robert DeLong]

Instant Karma

[Alberta's Child]

Here's a Rolling Stones tune that IS about New York City -- and it's a classic:

Shattered -- Rolling Stones

Supposedly Mick Jagger wrote it in the back of a taxicab in New York City during a sanitation worker's strike in the 1970s when there were piles of garbage all over the place in the city. The song reflects the zany scene in NYC at the time.

Billy Joel - Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway)

I’d say “Won’t Get Fooled Again,” but I’d be lying.

Buck Owens-- NYC
"I wouldn't live in NYC if they gave me the whole danged town "

Merle Haggard--NYC Blues

[Diana in Wisconsin]

What a nice thread to start!

First of all, Prayers Up for family and friends of the latest round of VICTIMS thanks to our dumb@ss Mother Government and her stupid, lax, PC immigration policies.

Secondly, living in a city the size of New York City would be a Hell On Earth for me, but I CAN understand how some people like it.

Lastly, I'll add this sentiment from 9/11:
