218. "New York City Cops" by The Strokes

The simple, fun, heavy rock of the Strokes. Catchy parts, excellent changes, and a beautiful Julian Casablancas singing performance.

Good line: "They act like Romans, but they dress like Turks."

The song was left off the band's debut album because, just weeks prior to the album's release, the September 11 attacks had made criticism of the New York City police force near treasonous. Remember when treason was convenient?
