Train Related Tunes!

Post by atlasduff47 »

An idea spawned by a chat between myself and Gptech

Right, I'll kick off with...............

'5:15' by The Who (Outta my brain on a train)!

Suggestions welcome........... :wink:

"A4 Legged Friend".
I've bet on a few, unfortunately I got little tanks for the effort!

Cheers Bazza.

It started with the Clash, so from their compatriots The Jam--- "Down in the tube station at midnight"

David Bowie's "Station to station"
Be Bop Deluxe's "No trains to Heaven"
"Hot Rails to hell" by Blue Oyster Cult
"Runaway train" By AC/DC

Anything by Graham Central Station, Grand Funk Railroad and Train could go in the list.

Nothing given away by the title, but Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Tuesday's gone" features train references in the lyrics.
"Riding on the L&N" (take your pick from John Mayals Bluesbreakers, Dr. Feelgood, Steamhammer, my favourite version from "Live at the Marquee" by Nine Below Zero, and countless other bands who've covered this staple)

One for all the rush hour commuters, "I'll stand by you" by The Pretenders" :wink:

A little phrase I love in Cream's "White Room":

"... at the station,
Platform ticket, restless diesels..."
