I got the idea for this tally when CL Political Whore Wayne Garcia played Randy Newman's "Baltimore" during last Friday's office "Dance Party." Been working on it, to a certain extent, ever since. And let me tell ya, it was tough. How could this list NOT include "New York, New York" or "Angel From Montgomery", right? Anyway, here's the highly subjective finished product.

1. "London Calling," The Clash

2. "Walking to New Orleans," Fats Domino
