Y'all have mentioned most of the "classic" NYC bands and artists. Here's a few that merit mention.

KISS
Magnetic Fields
Silos
Fleshtones
Steely Dan
Dirty Projectors
Pete Seeger
Anthrax
Public Enemy
Liars
Helmet
Blonde Redhead

I guess I really don't know who comes from NYC.  Magnetic Fields would be my number 1 and Pete Seeger should be on lists as well.  I will have to do a new one.

Yeah, that's basically it.

Of course my selection is limited to the 10,000 or so songs I have on my ipod.

Just select Frank Sinatra and Neil Diamond and alternate.

Carole King is from NYC?  Well that solves it.  Put "Tapestry" on repeat and enjoy your ride.

If by "love" it you mean she will insist that I turn the car around and drive straight home, you are correct.

Neil Diamond and Frank Sinatra would be likely to evoke similiar responses. Though I actually did play Neil Diamond on a beach trip a couple years ago, and actually managed to hear a few songs over the top of her bitching about how much it sucked.


Yeah, that's basically it.

Frank Sinatra and Neil Diamond are nowhere comparable.

Bitching about Neil Diamond I could see but Sinatra? ... Those 50s Capitol records were cut by the creme de la creme of jazz musicians, feature the best of the American Songbook, and were arranged by the very best (Riddle, May, etc.)...

Hopefully you're just selling your wife short... I can't imagine many women listening to Frank Sinatra and complaining. Of course if all you know of Frank is New York New York because you heard it after a baseball game..well, that would explain your ignorance.

I mean who the fuck doesn't like the Sinatra-Jobim record or Swingin' Lovers?
