Comment:

From the gleaming spires peeking out of the skyline to the pulsing masses of humanity tearing through Times Square, take a bite of the Big Apple with the tunes that capture the crowds and the craziness, the beauty and the [i]beat[/i] of New York City. Get away from it all by climbing “Up On the Roof” with the Drifters, take a punk-powered ride to “Rockaway Beach” with the Ramones. Or maybe you want to settle in alongside Sinatra for a leaf-strewn stroll through “Autumn In New York.” Whichever way you choose to get into your “New York State of Mind,” we’ve zeroed in on the tracks to take you there. There may be eight million stories in the naked city, but we’ve narrowed it down to a solid 75 for you right here.
