Songs about Thoroughfares

[Dove]

VIOLATION! A corner is not a thoroughfare.

 

[Scud49]

For my money, the best song ever about life on the road:

 

[Dove]

I really hate this song...

 

[Dove]

But man, love this song from Hard Promises...

 

[Dove]

A little political here...

 

[cohenzone]

UConn factoid. I’m not sure if they still do anything like this, but when I was a student, UConn had a community fund raising week in the spring with many events. It included a week of song dedications on WHUS for a money pledge. At the time, UConn had a Dean of Men, somewhat unfairly vilified by students, named John “Jack” Dunlop. And every money raising marathon some group, usually a frat, would pledge a bunch of money to have Hit the Road Jack played about 20 times in a row dedicated to Dunlop.

"Joppa Road" by Ween. I drive on Joppa Road quite often...

No cheat here. On Saturday I went to see Fred Hersch again who, along with Bill Charlap, are two of this guys modern representatives.

Some love for The Crusaders and Randy Crawford.

Oh gawd yes, great selection Jordy, what a fine group, great song - I forgot all about that one...!

 

[JordyG]

The city I love.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

OK if @JordyG 's sidewalks are thoroughfares ...

 

[JordyG]

Almost forgot these guys, whom I saw twice.

"Sidewalk Talk" by Madonna and Jellybean Benitez. Total schlock...

Killer song from The River album...before Bruce hit the weight room

C'mon Wallking Dead fans.

Ha ha, I beat you. #117.

 

[meyers7]

Always the coolest guy in the room.

Waiting on a ruling @Dove. Got about 20 songs lined up if "river" is a thoroughfare.

 

[meyers7]

Forgot about this one.

Ocean Avenue - Yellowcard
