New Year's Eve Playlists: A Rocking New Year's Eve

If you're looking for a rocking New Year's Eve sound track, then this is the playlist for you -- no teenybopper Top 40 here! There are some just plain fun songs (Chuck Berry's "My Ding-A-Ling" is a great party sing-along that's sure to be a hit), some rave-ups (The Kinks, Creedence), and a touch of melancholy (Paul Simon, Elvis Costello).
