The Top 40 Rock Songs About Or In New York City

The Curmudgeon Rock Report

In which the Curmudgeons wake up in the city that never sleeps once more and offer a countdown of what we think is the definitive list of the greatest 40 rock 'n' roll songs about the Big Apple. We touch on the city's love-hate dichotomies and make the argument that these songs paint the city as an experience more than as a residence. And Arturo recounts all the places he bought weed from once upon a time.

Check out a great book we mention in the episode, Anthony DeCurtis's "Lou Reed: A Life."
