It might be helpful if you told us what you already have.

NYC from the Broadway version of Annie.

New York Minute (though I will always associate it with 9/11)

That's Ace Frehley from Kiss.

Though I honestly only know that because of Jim Norton making fun of it on Opie and Anthony like years ago:

I like what you are doing TC, but if you don't mind me asking...What prompted this project?

...Also you are still missing a few, as well as IMO the greatest song about NYC.

it was just an idea

i would either like to listen to certain artist/bands but after awhile i wanted to create playlists with certain themes, the problem with that is i feel like only knew so much before i ran out of ideas of what to add to those playlists.

it also opens me up to new artists/bands i wouldnt have otherwise listened to

That's cool.
Not a bad way to do it, tbh.

Bob Dylan, Talking New York Blues.
