My friend and I are traveling to New Orleans for Halloween. I think it'd be fun to put together a compilation CD with songs about or inspired by New Orleans.
Anybody wanna help?

Oh good Lord, there are a ton of songs! Give me an idea of your musical tastes so I can narrow it down a bit.

Well, I mostly go for rock or metal, but a little jazz, alternative, or theater never hurt!
