Thanks so much everyone for all the great suggestions. I've been able to check some of them out so far and they are great. Can't wait to put together a playlist, keep the songs coming.

Oh yeah - New York Min was mentioned on the first page. Extra thanks for that one, I forgot all about it. I think I'll end up going with a live version with Don and Stevie.

I like 'Native New Yorker' by Odyssey
George Benson - On Broadway (All that Jazz soundtrack) New York city boy - Pet Shop Boys (I'll see them next tuesday!!!) Bee Gees - New York Mining Disaster 1941 (though I doubt it's related to the city) Don't know if this may be included, but Rolling Stones 'Miss You' has these lyrics I love: Ive been walking in central park Singing after dark People think I'm..... craaaaazy Can't Stop the Music, that old Village People movie, started with a David London song. "Sound of the city", and that song was about NYC too. New York (New York) - we're skatin' down Broadway At midnight or midday - we do our own thing New York (New York) - a city with gusto New York is a big show - it's what's happening Listen to the sound of the city, listen to the cars on the street New York is the fans of the Yankees, New York is a cop on the beat Listen to the sound of the city, listen to the steeple bells chime New York is a city of magic, New York is a hip state of mind New York (New York) - the city of night life The city of bright lights - we're doin' our part New York (New York) - the city of fashion The city of passion - this town has a heart

Great list, but one flaw... "You Don't Mess Around With Jim" by Jim Croce is about the southside of CHICAGO, even says so right in the song.

New York City Boys - Pet Shop Boys

My favourite New York related song is Fairytale of New York by the Pogues.
I know it's a christmast song actually but I for one could listen to it anytime. And it's not soooo long anymore till Xmas

Thank you all for your suggestions. I wanted to keep the playlist under 1 hour long and I've got 12 songs in. It was tough to get a running order...all the titles started to merge with each other after a while of looking at them. I might play with the order a little more, but here is what I've got:
New York, New York - Moby feat. Debbie Harry Empire State - Fleetwood Mac Illume - Fleetwood Mac I Can't See New York - Tori Amos Times Square (live) - Marianne Faithful New York Minute (live) - Don Henley & Stevie Nicks New York - Richard Ashcroft New York - U2 New York, New York - Nina Hagen New York, New York - Ryan Adams New York is A Woman - Suzanne Vega The City - Fleetwood Mac I wanted to start with an upbeat opener...and then go a little into what I would call 9.11 inspired songs, even though they aren't all. (I'll be visiting ground zero) And then get some live stuff in, and other cool tunes in the middle. I ended with The City - just in case I get sick of NY after listening to all these songs!  Thanks again and hope you like the end result. Not really any classic NY songs but it's what I like, and I'm glad I found a lot of stuff I like from your suggestions. Just couldn't use them all.
