Cool album list; I'm quite partial to #1 and kudos on the observation vis-a-vis #4.
And rag on me all you want, GIHYB, but Ryan Adams' NY tune is a sentimental fave.
great list rambler! "brooklyn" is a great choice. love that tune.
kiko ... c'mon. there's way better NY tunes on heartbreaker ... or, for that matter, on the 3rd strokes record!

Never dug The Strokes, and like I said, I'm a sentimental fool: the Ryan Adams song had some poignancy to it, given its timely arrival on the scene.
I dont understand this list. Wilco is from Chicago. Peter Cetera of Chicago is my 2nd favorite singer after Jeff Tweedy.
