Springtime in London: a soundtrack So, it just occurred to me that it's now springtime in London (even if the temps are more like a Melbourne winter). This can only mean one thing: it's time for a swinging springtime London playlist! Think happy, half-dressed Londoners frolicking in scorching 15-degree sunshine... flower-children and Carnaby St posers emerging from hibernation... Edina and Patsy shopping for bikinis... what would your soundtrack be? Here's mine... - "Itchycoo Park" - the Small faces - "Waterloo Sunset" - the Kinks - theme from Blow-Up - Herbie Hancock - "Peacock Suit" - Paul Weller - "Can't Explain" - the Who - "Wheels On Fire" - Ab Fab version

Aloha groovers!
Does music play a big role when you're planning a trip?
Perhaps you like to plan your travels around a rock'n'roll festival or a touring band, or holiday in places renowned for their jumping live music scene or rich musical history?
Well then - this group is for you.
Let's share and compare notes, hints, tips, questions, pictures and embarrassing confessions about our rock'n'roll travels!

vivekw Surely PSB's "King's Cross" has to make the list? And, not to be too trite, but "London Calling" needs to be up there too.
vivekw Whoa - look what the Internets just gave me: http://popjunkietv.com/2008/10/21/our-top-100-favourite-london-songs-1-50-the-kinks-to-the-byrds/!
And where the heck are all the other members - surely someone else has an opinion?
suzywatusi That's a cool list, thanks Vivek! I was going to include some Jam songs, but thought they were a bit aggressive for a springtime playlist... A-Bomb in Wardour St... hmmm...
I've never heard the Pet Shop Boys song! :-)
