Today we're looking for songs with a street name in the title. _____ Street, _____ Road, _____ Avenue... you get the picture.

"Walking in Memphis" by Marc Cohn off of "The American Landscape"

"Walking with my feet ten feet off of the Beale" Beale being a street in Memphis. I know its not in the title, yet great song with an even better street.

"Main Street"- Bob Seger

I must agree with "Grey Street". It tells a beautifully tragic story of a woman isolated, suffering with domestic abuse. If I hear DMB on The Current, I would be ecstatic.

Bleecker Street: Simon & Garfunkel.

Sorry for the double request, but got the out of office message last time when sending it through the website and I really want to hear this one.

This song always gives me the chills. Simon & Garfunkel's harmony while humming is beautiful and I like how stripped down the song is.

I second The Cure's "Fascination Street," and Prince's "Alphabet Street" is one I don't think I've heard yet...
