New York, I Love You But You're Stuck In My Head

New York has given us an impressive list of musical acts including LCD Soundsystem, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Strokes, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Jay-Z, Vampire Weekend, The Drums, Danger Mouse, Velvet Underground, The Bravery, Interpol, Public Enemy, Run-D.M.C., The Ramones, Blondie, Beastie Boys and The Rapture just to name a few!

For some reason songs about New York often get stuck in my head. I have never been to the city, but it is top of my list of places I want to go.

Here is a list of my favourite (most contagious) New York songs:

1. "New York, I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down" by LCD Soundsystem

2. "Moving to New York" by The Wombats

3. "New York City Cops" by The Strokes

4. "Empire State of Mind" - Jay-Z feat. Alicia Keys

5. "This Mess We're In" by PJ Harvey and Thom Yorke

And finally what would a list like this be without a bit of Sinatra....

6. "New York, New York" by Frank Sinatra
