Topic: Location, Location, Location - a new game

Anyone in the mood for a new game? Tough!

They say location is everything, so how many song titles can you think of that are addresses? Not just place names like Winchester Cathedral, but written as a proper address, fictional or otherwise; the fuller the better but postal/zip codes not necessary.

Here's a couple of starters:-

157 Riverside Ave - REO Speedwagon (from REO Speedwagon)
22 Acacia Avenue - Iron Maiden (from Number Of The Beast)

Album titles such as 461 Ocean Boulevard get half marks.

That should give the ol' grey matter a good work-out.

I'll take the half mark for the album title. My Mom's favorite cassette, worn out driving around in her Chevy Cavalier.

1100 Bel Air Place - Julio Iglesias

Re: Location, Location, Location - a new game

How about Ventura Blvd?  I've no street number, though.

And Thunder Road?  Very difficult for me to think of any with street numbers!

I'm addicted.

I'll give you a point for Heartbreak Hotel, as a place name rather than an address. Going for addresses in the lyric, you could mention Crowded House's Weather With You:-

Walking 'round the room singing Stormy Weather
At 57 Mount Pleasant Street

I'm surprised nobody has tried farms yet, example Parchman Farm (Blues).....

Couple more, though without the house numbers:-
Across 110 Street - Bobby Womack
59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin' groovey) - Simon & Garfunkel

13 Chester Street - The Pretty Things

Re: Location, Location, Location - a new game

Hope this isn't driving everyone "postal" yet. I didn't realise it was going to be as tricky as it is, but certainly giving the little grey cells a good work out.

Here's a few more I've found:-

3744 James Road - Groundhogs
59 Chrystie Street - Beastie Boys
144 Brooklyn Place Mansions - Outside
1101 Woodland - Jimmy Dawkins
2300 Jackson Street - The Jacksons

East 24th Ave - Billy Graham & The Escalators
52nd Street - Billy Joel (album title)
53rd & 3rd - The Ramones
Villiers Terrace - Echo & The Bunnymen
