London Forum: London Calling- What to load onto my Ipod?

Streets of London - Ralf Mctell.

<<(I might be the only middle aged guy in America with Girls Aloud on his Ipod!)>>

Not a serious music fan then....:))

The Kinks.

Squeeze (esp Up the Junction)

Amy Winehouse

Madness

The Clash

And if you're brave enough to admit to Girls Aloud you should probably consider the Sugabages while you're at it!

for starters. Still thinking though....

Hey Parkland, Thought you would show a Yank a bit more respect...

We did take Posh off your hands for a couple or years now :-)

"Down In The Tube Station At Midnight" by The Jam

We did take Posh off your hands for a couple or years now :-)

Oh we appreciate it, we really do....And for keeping P+B for another couple of years!!

Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street obviously (although I don't agree with the lyric).

Noel Gallagher's latest album is pretty good although not esp 'London'.

London Homesick Blues: Jerry Jeff Walker

Thanks everyone... keep them coming.

As I started searching fro some of these songs a suggestion from Apple popped up for "Essential London" that had a 75 song setlist that also gave me some good thoughts.

Oh difficult question... My 2 favourite bands, Take That and Muse are both british but neither are from London, though Take did record a live album at Abbey Road studios&both band played Wembley Stadium

Ah the band Athlete is from Depford, London, and I first heard their song Chances on a fab DrWho episode.

Ask and Wikipedia is sure to deliver...(from the obvious "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" to the well not at all ridiculous but stretching it..."A Day in the Life" from the Beatles with its reference to the Albert Hall) …wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_songs_about_Lond…

Thanks for asking this question, I might just compile my own list (sans Girls Aloud though ;) )
