I firmly believe that the success of the iPod is due to the fact that let you enjoy your own dairy soundtrack. You can ride the subway, walk through the streets, jog in central park with your own personal soundtrack.
These are some of my favorites tracks to listen here in New York, the city that never sleeps.
1) Walking on sunshine, Katrina and the waves. There are music that you can not overanalyze. This upbeat, catchy dance track from the 80s is perfect to walk through Wall Street (just like Patrick Bateman did in the early 90s with his "state of the art" walkman).
2) New York, New York, Sinatra. An all times classic that never dies, New York, New York is one of the perfect tunes to get into New York from JFK at night when the lights of this city bright.
3) Summer in the City, Joe Cocker. How hot the city could be during the summer. This song reflects these days where swearing is unavoidable.
4) Raphsody in Blue, George Gerwshin. Probable the last classic compositor, Gerwshin is not only responsible for some of the most beautiful master pieces of music. It is the music that creates the perfect beginning for Manhatan, the great Woody Allen's movie.
More to come ...

Good election! Above all for "Summer in the City". I like that song more and more.
Posted from Madrid, the city that only sleeps when the streets works allows it.
