I'm sorry I missed reading it until just now. Two songs that capture L.A. for me, both (respectively) growing up and working there are I See Hawks in L.A.'s "California Country" and Flying Burrito Brothers' "Sin City": http://www.last.fm/music/I+See+Hawks+in+L.A./_/California+Country?autostart http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCqxq6xqoXI Awesome series.

No one can deny that Randy Newman can write a catchy hook, but...just, wow. I would agree with those above me. Great series. It was a lot of fun reading all of the posts and getting everyone's take on songs about my home town that have all meant something to me. Thanks, Julia and everybody. Wow.

My mind always flashed back to the original MTV version. The series was brilliant and was glad to be a part of it. What a great and diverse view of the city in music over the years.
