This month, we've asked for some of your favorite songs about trains...and the community responded with near-record entries! Here's the top 15 selections that were up-voted on Discord. Note that there's two versions of Downtown Train...I'll take the one that has the most votes (if it qualifies).

Your task is to select UP TO FIVE of your preferred favorites! Thanks so much for your participation!

Here's a playlist of many of these selections: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bzLd2MDAHK8&list=PLVCRdpIxX2DE

Jeff Hansen

Love this theme. All are great choices

James Geckle

Nice list of train songs. I meant to submit Blackfoot's "Train, train" but didn't get 'er done. 🙈

Gary Thobaben

Heck yeah to King’s X - have they ever been on the channel before?

Sam

If you do Marrakesh Express, please listen to the demo track! It’s so much better than the finished song.

Robin L.

Metheny and Mays Last Train Home ! (as a replacement for Lightfoot’s Canadien Railroad Trilogy-just sayin’) haha

Paul Mendonsa

No mention of "A Passage to Bangkok"?!?!?!?

Trevor Cotterell

omg... no-one actually put Locomotive Breath forward?!?! maybe because it was the example!! And no one submitted Honky Tonk Train Blues... I knew I shouldn't have gone for a great song no-one knows!

James Geckle

I've heard a bunch of versions of "People Get Ready" and except for maybe Vanilla Fudge, they are all great, including the three versions by Eva in my CD collection. 🤘✌️

David Cavazos

Oh man, so close to a Porcupine Tree analysis! Regardless of what comes of the poll, I am looking forward to your analysis and discussion!

Todd Howard

I'm surprised "A Passage to Bankok - Rush" isn't on the list! ("Ahhh, they never play Bangkok!") Great list up there tho! Got my votes in. Love seeing the Porcupine Tree on there!!

Mark Smith

This is a great theme, and 2 of my favorite songs about trains are here, Pat Metheny and Porcupine Tree

Peter Tutak

Well, here's a wonderful example of "Man Plans, and God Laughs". I had originally planned to withdraw my own composition ('Aboard the Twentieth Century Limited' by QRN) from the Patreon ballot if it made the cut in Fan Favorites. I said something like *"If I make it to the final cut, I’ll withdraw the submission and concede the position to whomever’s behind me."* Well, here I am in the Patreon ballot (I didn't trigger an email to Doug about this early enough), with *no one behind me*. Indeed, the laugh's on me, but I'm good with it, as it was just an experiment. My thanks to anyone who voted for me. Feel free to reallocate your vote to another candidate.

Neale Brassell

Dang, how did Driver 8 (R.E.M.) not make this list?

Michael L.

Kind of surprised to not see "Midnight Train to Georgia" on this one.

Les Mable

While clearly not suitable for this selection, the work Different Trains by Steve Reich could be interesting for an analysis (although Reich would not be everyone's cup of tea, to be honest).

ben-one-eye

If we could only persuade Doug to replace the single version of Trans Europe Express with the full version. In case it makes the cut, that is.

Jim Wilde

Im a little sad (and amazed) that Arlo Guthrie’s “City of New Orleans” isnt in the list.

Mark Rozanski

Long Train Running by the Doobies is one of my all-time favorite songs

Steve Hartke

No love for The Kinks… Disappointing…

Jeff Norman

No "City of New Orleans" or "Casey Jones"?

Ruth James

Disappointing that The King's Singers didn't make the poll. My ELO suggestion got in but KS was my fav of all the submissions - such a fun song!

DrDaveT

Other theme options: Steel Rail Blues (Gordon Lightfoot), Canadian Railroad Trilogy (Gordon Lightfoot), Locomotive Breath (Jethro Tull), City of New Orleans (Arlo Guthrie), Casey Jones (Grateful Dead), ...
