so I decided to make a playlist of songs that mention buses or routes for no other reason apart from the fact I'm a big music fan and I was bored. If you want to check it out or have got any suggestions it's here. Wot, no "National Express" by The Divine Comedy? The song doesn't just mention a bus, it's about one! I didn't add it as it's a coach service. Although greyhound is also a coach service so will add it to the list now. |

Are there any bus routes that remind you of certain songs just generally?
An example I have is OutKast - Ms Jackson reminding me of the 191, maybe it's because there was an FRV done on it with that song, but like the message of the song, the 191 has quite a number of twists and turns and could generally be considered quite complicated.

The 42 reminds me of West End Girls by the Pet Shop Boys - a Titan crossing Tower Bridge appears in the music video working the route. |

Probably most of what Eminem does could be considered good music in my opinion, however Lose Yourself holds a special place in my heart. That song gives me the chills every time I listen to it

Just come across this thread I'm a big music fan. Here's a list of my top 20 songs of all time. 20.Tracy Chapman. Fast Car 19.Deacon Blue. Dignity 18. James. Sit Down 17. Dire Straits. Your Latest Trick 16. Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Universally Speaking 15. The Who. Behind blue eyes 14.Artic Monkeys. I wanna be yours 15. Bruce Springsteen. The river 14. Massive Attack. Unfinished Sympathy 13. The Stone Roses. Waterfall 12.Rolling Stones. Gimme Shelter 11. Paul Simon. Diamonds on the soles of her shoes 10. The Moody Blues. Question 9. Blur. Tender 8. Cranberries. Dreams 7. The Verve. Lucky Man 6. Radiohead. Karma Police 5. Fleetwood Mac. The Chain 4. The Eagles. Desperado 3. Metallica. Nothing else matters 2.Talking Head. Road to nowhere. 1. Pink Floyd. Wish you were here – belatedly seen your post and it’s a really cool list… A few comments if I may: 12.Rolling Stones. Gimme Shelter – Possibly the greatest rock song? – if not, certainly my vote for the best start to a track 10. The Moody Blues. Question – Hugely under-rated 6. Radiohead. Karma Police “For a minute there / I lost myself, I lost myself…” amazing song (and album) During lockdown some friends and I all independently devised our “Top 100 songs” lists (but not in order) and shared / compared them – there was a twist in that each artist could only appear once on the list…the song that kept appearing was Curtis Mayfield’s “Move On Up”. |

Wow 100 song list that's pretty impressive. I'd probably make a few changes to the list now for example prefer "talking about a revolution" Tracy Chapman and would probably put "idiotque" by Radiohead on there but that's a real love it or hate it song I think. Thom Yorke has very powerful and meaninful lyrics in songs that's for sure. |
