Aquarium Drunkard has a great three-part series on classic LA musical tracks spanning the last 3-4 decades or so. It's called "L.A. Burnout" and features songs from the likes of LA '60s garage great The Standells to longtime SoCal stalwarts like Neil Young, Flo & Eddie, The Mamas & The Papas, Albert Hammond (the older one) and others.

Go here for Part One, Part Two, and Part Three. Get your "hey, man" going.
