LIST 175 - 09/12/15 (a selection of places - part one)

Hello again,

Tonight and tomorrow's Lists follow a simple enough theme - every song shares its name with a genuine town, city, country, street, feature or in one case a planet.  These have been fun to compile; there are a few choices I've been waiting to share for almost as long as I've been doing these, and opportunity has finally presented itself.

The Field Mice's evocative and filmic (is that a word?) Holland Street takes its name from a road in Glasgow.  Sauerland, as in the contribution here by Zoff, is an area of northern Germany.  Cuyahoga is many things in Ohio, though I understand the REM track refers specifically to the terminally polluted river of the same name.  Mablethorpe, beloved of Lost Pets, is an East Lincolnshire coastal resort.  The rest you'll know.
