The theme for this particular music series is one that @FourWalls did awhile back: songs with a city in the title. We are at #6, "Los Angeles" by X.
"Los Angeles" is the beginning of side two of their 1980 album, Los Angeles, which was produced by Ray Manzarek, who also provided keyboards.
X is one of the great Southern California punk bands, so good that "Los Angeles" is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
Yep, it's that good. I've linked to a live video. Enjoy!

The band X, playing live, August 26th, 2014 at The Sinclair in Harvard Square, Cambridge, MA.
