I'm headed out to Hoboken, New Jersey, next week for a business trip to see my company's corporate headquarters. This means I'm in need of a rockin' playlist. I've already got a pretty good compilation of travel tunes, but I thought it would be fun to create another playlist purely composed of music by bands that come from New Jersey and New York (or that wrote songs about those states). Here's what I put together:
- Goin' Down to New York Town - Counting Crows
- New York City - They Might Be Giants
- We Are All Made of Stars - Moby
- Hook - Blues Traveler
- You Give Love a Bad Name - Bon Jovi
- I Wanna Be Sedated - The Ramones
- Big Shot - Billy Joel
- Juke Box Hero - Foreigner
- Someday - The Strokes
- Diane Young - Vampire Weekend
- Mrs. Robinson - Simon & Garfunkel
- Two Princes - Spin Doctors
- Dream On - Aerosmith
- Heartbreaker - Pat Benatar
- Layla - Derek & the Dominos
- Smooth - Santana feat. Rob Thomas
- Livin' On a Prayer - Bon Jovi
- Helena (So Long and Goodnight) - My Chemical Romance
- Broadway - Goo Goo Dolls
- New York State of Mind - Billy Joel
A quick list. A brief list. Did I miss any of your favorite Jersey or NYC-based bands? Let me know in the comments below!
