Noisy Decent Graphics: Amy Limehouse

How about Cliff Richmond?

Anyone else?

Oh, this is irresistible. Not convinced by Lily Balham, I think that's reaching a bit. But what a great little idea. Whitney Euston is almost too good to be true. MC Hammersmith is my favourite. Something about the clash of Captain Madtrousers and that rather grubby station is delicious. I'm about to get on the Tube at Green Park. Green Park Day, anyone? (Now who's reaching?) Damn you for getting Amy Limehouse, Ben.

PS: I suppose Waterloo Sunset doesn't quite fit the pattern. But there isn't a Tube station called Ray Davies.

I'm more familiar with the Tyne & Wear Metro, so I give you:

Morden a Woman.

Always found that far funnier than it actually is.

Posted by: James Greig | Jan 16, 2008 at 15:34

Rolling Leytonstones.

Scissor (Seven) Sisters.

Oh dear, back to work I think.

Posted by: James Greig | Jan 16, 2008 at 15:39

First post here in a while, but I couldn't resist!

Phil Colindale.

Phil Tufnell Park.

Iron Maida Vale (Reaching I know.)

I should be writing my dissertation... Hmm.

Posted by: Kieren Messenger | Jan 16, 2008 at 16:29

Iron Morden should have been in there.

Iggy Poplar from the TfL website: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/microsites/itunes/default.aspx?BAC=ITUNES-TFLBANNER&page=Home

I think The Rolling Leytonstones and Cliff Richmond are the best so far.

Bob Marylebone. Go West Hampstead. Cilla Blackfriars. Cyprus Hill (Cyprus is on on of those Docklands lines). Leona Lewisham.

Lily Balham is rubbish.

Posted by: dan at innocent | Jan 17, 2008 at 09:06

Posted by: dan at innocent | Jan 17, 2008 at 09:16

Just to get them out of my system...

Kanye West Brompton

How about 'St. John's Wood' ?

That's a tube station, isn't it?

This is brilliant.

'Southwark' - that's my local one.

Come one - any more ?

Posted by: Tom | Jan 19, 2008 at 16:05

A few more...

Eddie Rayners Lane

Alan Parsons Green

Jerry Lee Lewisham

Kanye Westferry

Steve Earle's Court

Posted by: Steve O | Jan 19, 2008 at 23:14

Jerry Lee Lewisham is my new favourite. Although just about all of these are better than Lily Balham.

Posted by: Nick Asbury | Jan 21, 2008 at 09:31

Brilliant.

Wimbledon MacClean
Roy Woodford
Barking Crimson

Posted by: Rob Mortimer | Jan 21, 2008 at 11:45

Bank Zappa. Ok ok I'll get my coat

Posted by: John | Jan 22, 2008 at 00:26

Put your coat down, John, Bank Zappa's hilarious. But I think my favourite so far is The Jesus & Marylebone.

There's Bond Street, but who would know we were celebrating the not-quite-as-sexy-as-they-think-they-are girls' violin band? Queensbury is in a similar vein. And All Saints is just ridiculous.

So how about:

Gunnersbury & Roses
Linkin Park Royal
Gram Parsons Green
U2's favourite guitarist: The Edgware
Bayswater City Rollers
Gladys Knightsbridge
(Or Beverley Knightsbridge, for younger listeners)
A-ha's inimitable lead singer: Morden Harket
One for the producers: Trevor Hornchurch
Kilburn & The High Roads (because nothing sounds like Ian Dury)
Goldie's Green?

I think I should stop now.

Posted by: Mike Reed | Jan 22, 2008 at 20:38

The Beautiful Southgate?
Merle Haggerston (a bit too country?)
Gene Putney
Herb Alperton

... another Amy Winehouse reference:
High Barnet?

is that the sound of a barrell being scraped?

Posted by: Richard McKeever | Jan 23, 2008 at 14:20

*scrapes barrel*

Go Westminster
Marble Arch Enemy
Greenwich Day
Lewisham 69

Ok, thats the last of it gone...

Posted by: Rob Mortimer | Jan 23, 2008 at 14:48

This is AWESOME!!

Ok, how's about:

Paul Elephant & HardCastle

Clutching? Straws?
