A City, a Song Vol. 1

Few songs define the nerve-jangling excesses of Las Vegas as well as Elvis Presley's timeless refrain to that city; the same is true of Frank Sinatra's rousing rhapsody for New York. This playlist offers similarly affecting paeans to the world's most beloved cities. It's a mighty selection that includes Lou Reed's gritty realism, Bowie's glam, The Clash's combative attitude and more.
