Winston Legthigh Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I was going to question the validity of some of the "great" train songs listed here (as these things can tend to become merely lists) but opted not to. Now, I'm forced to....dammit Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yaz Rock Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Please Hold On While the Train is Moving - Old 97sOld Familiar Steam - Old 97sI'm a Trainwreck - Old 97sRunaway Train - Soul AsylumRunaway Train - Adam's House Cat (proto-Drive By Truckers)Monkey and the Engineer - On the Grateful Dead covers list, but I wanted to single it out as one of my favoritesDown - perhaps the closest thing to a Pearl Jam train song, which borrows the line "You can't be neutral on a moving train" from Howard Zinn End of the Line - Travelling Wilbury's. Does that count? I think of "end of the line" as a "train expression." Also, Freight Train by Sister Double Happiness (covered often by Kraig Johnson)Orig. versionhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AgQ_6m6OCHA Interesting write-up on that song.
