On a music mission today. Sat on my own on the bus for the first time, spare seats are a rare luxury. I was thinking it’d be a boring day of book finishing and Rubix cube cracking. But actually it was excellent… As Pete Postlethwaite said in Brassed Off : Music Matters…
An old friend reminded me to listen to “one for the road” by FFAF and a new friend introduced me to “the road” by Frank Turner.
Anyway, those that know Chris will appreciate my fondness for lists.
So I trawled the 4500 songs I brought with me for all tracks that include the word “road”. FYI I own 33.
They made an excellent playlist.
Can you name any of them? Prizes will be offered*.
*no prizes offered.
On the Road Again – Willie Nelson
Song for the Road – David Ford
Thunder Road – Bruce Springsteen
Road to Hell – Chris Rea
Back on the Road again – REO Speedwagon
Road to Nowhere – Talking Heads
The Long and Winding Road – Beatles
I need to get back to work 🙂
Telegraph Road – Dire Straits (have heard of)
Tobacco Road – Lou Rawls (never heard of)
Copperhead Road – Steve Earle (who?)
Follow the Yellow Brick Road – from The Wizard of Oz.
What about expanding your search to street, avenue or boulevard?
‘On the road to Mandalay’…?
Best avoided on Fridays around teatime , so turn left, not right, at Kathmandu.
I’ll play your game.
Road Mutants – Death Angel
Have a good time all the time!

Oh my GOD I totally forgot The Road to Mandalay (Robbie style) until Mum reminded me above. Thanks Chris’s Mum, I am a terrible Robbie fan 🙁
