LIST 175 - 09/12/2015 (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.  You won't need me to tell you what the likes of Sweden are.
