"Hudson Tubes" by The Robbers on High Street may not name-check JC but it's clearly about riding the PATH train.

Don't forget about Big Blue Meenie, the world-class recording studio on Paterson Plank Road. It's been host to a number of big-name punk and hardcore bands over the years, as well as more pop and R&B artists during its prior incarnation as Quantum Sound.

From the "About Us" page on bigbluemeenie.com:

Quote:
Resized ImageBig Blue Meenie is one of the oldest, largest, and certainly the most prolific "Open for Hire" private production houses for rock music on the east coast.

Originally built in 1981 as "Quantum Sound" and renovated several times over the last 25 years, it's currently an 8500 square foot, 2 floor facility which houses 4 control rooms, 2 live performance spaces, 4 iso rooms and 3 editing/support DAW suites. All of which are networked together in one seamless system of file management and manipulation.
BBM also features an extensive mic locker and an impressive array of the worlds finest outboard equipment, all encased in a series of rolling rack systems, available to any room's patch bay via a single multi-pin connector.

512 Paterson Plank Road has been host to an amazing array of artists spanning all genres of music. 24 Gold and 10 Platinum records have been mixed and or recorded here over that time.

Older rock acts such as Rage Against the Machine and INXS were mixed here by Andy Wallace in the Quantum era. Newer acts like Thursday and Taking Back Sunday were recorded and mixed here by Tim Gilles and Sal Villanueva since 1998, as well as hundreds of worthy, if somewhat lesser known records which we have had the privilege to be associated with.

Some of these include some cult classics and seminal underground smashes like S.O.D., The Toadies, Jeff Buckley and Sepultura. For the last decade, the BBM Production Staff of about a dozen engineers and producers have made literally hundreds of records front to back.

You learn something new every day:

Per Wikipedia:

The song was rearranged by the progressive rock band Yes in 1971. Yes added elements typical to progressive rock, such as changes in time signature and long instrumental segments, while dropping the song's original repeat and fade ending. The complete Yes version clocks in at ten and a half minutes. This recording first appeared in 1972 on the sampler album The New Age of Atlantic and was later included on the compilation album Yesterdays in 1975 and on the 2003 re-issue of their album Fragile. An edited version of this recording lasting 4 minutes was released as a single and hit #46 on the pop chart. It also appeared on the Yesyears and Yesstory boxed sets. The edited version was also included as a bonus track on the re-issue of Close to the Edge. A live version of the song was included on 1996's Keys to Ascension.

I heard a song I haven't listened to for a while, Dylan's "Tweeter and the Monkey Man" from the Traveling Wilburys album. It mentions JC by name:
"The town of Jersey City is quieting down again"
http://www.lyricsfreak.com/t/travelli ... +monkey+man_20140469.html

(Another line I find funny is "In Jersey anything's legal as long as you don't get caught").

Also, I have a Grateful Dead Album recorded live at JC's Stanley theater. I guess you know where my musical taste leans.

Just wondering if there are any other national acts, any genre, that have been recorded in, or mentions JC. The only other one I can think of off the top of my head is the Tube Bar recordings, but they are prank calls not music.
