Doubtlessly a niche interest to most, but I got all stroppy about a SPIN listicle from 2013 that purported to cite the "40 Best New York City Music Videos" of all time, and found it cliche-ridden, anemic and pandering. As such, I made my own list that dwarfed SPIN's list by leaps and bounds. [Removed Illegal Link], unless you understandably have better things to do with your time.

Railroad Jerk seem like they would have been fun to see live.

^ we may have shouldered past each other in the bathroom, lol. My CBs show was a Matador showcase in early Summer '95 – RRJ, Cibo Matto, Run On... maybe one other band?
