Ticket to the Moon - ELO

Someone should start a thread about it.

Sounds riveting!

I like to think about these things in between cataloging my matchstick collection.

I started with a Richard Thompson motorbike song and I'll finish my contributions with another Thompson song about motorcycles.

Appropriately, given some of the nominations, it also mentions a rocket and Noah's ark :-)

Wall of Death - Richard and Linda Thompson

Wall of Death - Richard and Linda Thompson

That's one of my all-time favourites. Just been listening to Jet Plane in a Rocking Chair.

John Barry : “Little Nellie”.

Possibly my favourite piece of music ever from a film soundtrack and certainly the greatest about an autogyro.

FWIW, I have 42 songs on just my on the road themed playlist so missed loads of songs I’d have loved to add.

’Two Trains’ Lowell George

I did a playlist on trains on here earlier this year and there’s still tons more.

I'm a Train - Albert Hammond :-)

Think you might have beaten Rob and his Ark to most obscure vehicle.

 

[Out on blue 6]

Boards Of Canada - Happy Cycling

It wasn’t me. The most obscure I’ve had is a chariot.

You are indeed right. Any day either side that suits you doogle

I was saving my last transport song to drive us into the holiday week.

Thanks to Chris Rea's 1986 tune that has been remade by a band this year that I both enjoy and got to see open up for Local Natives back in 2019 (I know who will appreciate that here ;-) ).

As a playlist closer, I think it works quite well.

Middle Kids - "Driving Home for Christmas"

Someone had to do it! In fairness that's a version I and I suspect others won't be familiar with.

As we're on Rea, on your side of the Atlantic are you aware of his (non existent) propensity to crack a raw egg into the bath of any visiting guest ?
