Hey Jude - Beatles
Band On The Run - Paul McCartney & Wings
Take It Easy - Eagles
Part Of Me, Part Of You - Glenn Frey
Start Me Up - Rolling Stones
Tangled Up In Blue - Bob Dylan
Sultans Of Swing - Dire Straits
Why Aye Man - Mark Knopfler
Rock'n'Roll - Led Zeppelin
Nights On Broadway - Bee Gees
Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting - Elton John
Cleaning Windows - Van Morrison
Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush
Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel
Heroes - David Bowie
Turn To Stone - ELO*
Suspicious Minds - Elvis Presley **
I'm In Love With My Car - Queen
Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac
You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet - Bachman Turner Overdrive
Whiskey In The Jar - Thin Lizzy
Guantanamera - Pete Seeger
Respect - Aretha Franklin
Lookin' Out My Back Door - CCR
There, for me, you have some of the greatest songs ever written. But these ARE mood changers.
* This is a breakup song but it is so exhilarating I had to include it.
** Ditto.
Found it! These are 'songs which transform your mood'.
I would add these:
Here's To Life - Glenn Frey
Route 66 - Glenn Frey
Groovy Kind Of Love - Phil Collins
In The Air Tonight - Phil Collins (I don't care how dark it is; it makes me feel good)
Never Going Back Again - Fleetwood Mac
Edge Of Seventeen - Stevie Nicks
One Night In Bangkok - Murray Head (or should I do a list of favourite songs about places)....
Let Me Roll It - Wings
What Is Life - George Harrison
Here Comes The Sun -Beatles
A Hard Day's Night - Beatles
Bad News From Home - Randy Newman (though you wouldn't think so from the title)
Don't Look Back In Anger - Oasis
Champagne Supernova - Oasis
But if I had to boil this down to two songs, they are Hey Jude & Solid Rock.
Re: Listography-Your life in playlists
I'm actually very glad you brought this thread forward again. This is one of my favorite threads in the Off Topic area. I pulled out my listography book again and will go through this thread again also just to read some of the old list. I bet each and every one of them has changed a bit over the years for me.

I saw this and I thought I can't possibly have enough for a whole list. Was I wrong, was able to make a list of over 30 just off the top of my head. I've narrowed it down to 20.
So here we go again........
List of Favorite Songs About Places
(This can be anyplace, state, city, country, building, etc, real or fictional.... it's your list so use whatever your definition is of "place")
No particular order here.
1.)Solsbury Hill-Peter Gabriel
2.) King Of Hollywood-Eagles
3.) Baker's Street-Gerry Rafferty
4.) Heartbeat City-The Cars
5.)The Road To Hell-Chris Rea
6.) Hotel California-Eagles
7.) Black Water-Doobie Brothers
8.) Small Town-John Mellencamp
9.)Going To California-Led Zeppelin
10.) Mary Jane's Last Dance-Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers (had to get Indiana in here somehow)

14.)New York Groove-Ace Frehley
15.) Kashmir-Led Zeppelin

Re: Listography-Your life in playlists
I'm glad you responded to this because I wasn't sure if I should revive it or not.
I have so many favourite songs about real places that I could break them into country lists. It didn't occur to me that fictional places (like You Belong To The City) would work. I might do a fictional list but here is my real places list.
1. Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty
2. Silvertown Blues - Mark Knopfler
3. Sailing To Philadelphia - Mark Knopfler
4. Kashmir - Led Zeppelin
5. Hotel California - Eagles
6. Solsbury Hill - Peter Gabriel
7. Tunnel Of Love - Dire Straits
8. Galveston - Glen Campbell
9. Wichita Lineman - Glen Campbell
10. Nights On Broadway - Bee Gees
11. Khe Sanh - Cold Chisel
12. Mountains Of Burma - Midnight Oil
13. America - Simon & Garfunkel
14. Shattered (New York) - Rolling Stones
15. New York State Of Mind - Billy Joel
16. Route 66 - Glenn Frey
17. Sunset Grill - Don Henley
18. Rocky Mountain High - John Denver
19. One Night In Bangkok - Murray Head
20. Kansas City/Hey Hey Hey Hey - Beatles
21. Baltimore - Randy Newman
22. Going To California - Led Zeppelin
That is scraping the surface because travelling is my favourite thing in the world.
Re: Listography-Your life in playlists

4. City To City - Gerry Rafferty
5. Living For The City - Stevie Wonder (New York)
