What Should New York State’s Official Rock Song Be?

As we discovered in an ill-fated Google search this morning, New York State — unlike Oklahoma — does not have an official rock song. But if we did have one, what should it be? Oklahoma's is the Flaming Lips' "Do You Realize??" which makes sense only because the Lips were formed in Oklahoma City (and because everyone there, someday, will die, we guess). So which track is worthy of the Empire State? Remember — it has to be relevant to upstaters, too.
