Here are a couple:

""New York's Alright If You Like Saxophones" by Fear (haters), "Fairytale of New York" by the Pogues (great song), "Alien Love Song" by Kenny Young and the Eggplants (poignant in retrospect).

100 Guns - Boogie Down Productions

"I got a hundred guns two hundred clips

goin to New York, New York"

- Harlem Blues - Cynda Williams

- Ben E king - Spanish Harlem

- Jennifer Warnes - Big Noise, New York (I walk from the river to West Broadway/Every stranger spoke your name/Every sign read 'yesterday')

- Harry Nilsson - I Guess the Lord must be in New York City

Mark McAdam "The Bowery Song" (there are days I look straight up the Bowery)

Lloyd Cole "What Do You Know About Love" (it's raining on Bleecker Street!)

Re: Bruce's "My City of Ruins"

The song was actually written before 9/11 and was originally a lament about the decline of Asbury Park, NJ. Of course, it's now a major part of "The Rising", the definitive post-9/11 album.

Madball's "New York City" is the ultimate NYC song that sums up the experience of the city better than any other (assuming you're a hardcore tough guy thug).

BDP's answer to MC Shan's answer to "South Bronx:"

"The Bridge Is Over"

Gotta love wikipedia

MC Shan's answer to BDP's South Bronx... The Bridge...

They forget Simon & Garfunkel's "At the Zoo," which is all about the Central Park Zoo. ("It's a light and tumble journey / From the East Side to the park / Just a fine and fancy ramble to the zoo / But you can take a crosstown bus / If it's raining or it's cold. . . .")
