I have a soft spot for the Boxtops one.... but yeah I can't really argue.
Nobody mentioned the Doobie Brothers yet have they?

One of my gramp’s records. Still have it somewhere. Field recordings made by rail enthusiasts


You have no idea what a Sunday dinner can be like until you’re all trapped in a room in Ynys Mon, listening to narrow gauge sample sets (cheap buy for the production heads among you too)

bandz ahoy
I happened to be listening to this and I thought about this thread cos this is music that (albeit in a retro way) evokes the pace of horseback riding.

Wonder if train songs are gonna die out. It's still a totally extant form of transport... but I don't see many hip-hop stars getting on a train or writing about one.

i dunno i think they have a much better profile that cars already, they have a bunch of symbolism that make them good for singing about otherwise these last couple of pages wouldnt have got filled up like this

i mean a lot more people drive cars but while that form of transport is just as banal, nobody much sings about em (or maybe someone needs to start that thread) or bicycles,
