Friday Night is Transport Music Night...

[Glow worm]

And - in a tribute to my offshore radio heroes- Strange Boat by the Waterboys.

[Crackle]

Tenuous? Tenuous? Starship!

Nah, Love in Vain. Just 'cause there's a train in it...

 

[Baggy]

Nah, Love in Vain. Just 'cause there's a train in it...

Harrumph.

Post of the thread I reckon.

Good taste.

Well, any song that has the wonderful line...

" the rumble of boots and a kick in the balls ", delivered with a faint aggression, has to have some merit

Rory in killer transport form:

Sea Cruise

Suped-up Ford

Cruise on Out

Go on son!

My mistake, I think I confused a couple of Jam songs, but That's Entertainment had the wonderful, urban angst line" feeding ducks in the park and wishing you were far away"... yes, it has nothing to do with transport, but here it is..

Meanwhile, while you are wishing you are far away, how about the Motors, Airport, just about the best happy song of all time....

Coast to Coast by Ducks Deluxe is a little-known gem of raw, straight-ahead chap music.

Remember The Revillos?

Robby Krieger's slide in The Doors' Moonlight Drive is immaculate.....

 

[Foghat]

Sailor were always good for a rollicking performance.....

Guitar heroes don't come much more unlikely looking than the great Johnny Winter, here performing Highway 61.

 

[slowmotion]

He is positively listless, dude...

For sheer speed and tunelessness, nobody beats Alvin Lee

Posting this one for the subject of the video rather than the audio.

RL Burnside's Poor Boy is an inspired choice for the soundtrack, and the footage from 3' 00" to 3' 40" is absolutely stunning, even if it is speeded up.

Sham were criminally underrated. Most people can't see beyond Hurry Up Harry, not knowing about the impressive song-writing catalogue that Pursey et al were responsible for.

Fire Engine by the 13th Floor Elevators has something about it, too.
