I think Pet Shop Boys' "London" is a nice pop song.

one month passes...

I am adopting this unanswered thread, too.

Blur have a song called "London Loves" and I'm actually pretty indifferent to it, but who else can think of nice popsongs with London in the title?

Gene 'London Can You Wait' - you could call it a nice pop song...i'm not keen tho

Hey, this "adopting threads thing really works!"

And hey, no fair, Alex, posting more than one at a time, especially considering that you posted the one *I* was going to say next...

There wasn't a rule about posting more than one. Sorry, though, Kate.

Ralph McTell to thredd.

For what it's worth, I think "London Loves" is quintessential Blur, and how I'd like to remember them.

Whoops, that shoulda been BALLS TO THE WALL album, by the way.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 14 January 2003 14:40 (twenty-three years ago)

Nicolette's Just to Say Peace & Love should really be called Lazy Day in London as far as I'm concerned. If it was it could be an answer to Kate's question.

― Rick, Tuesday, 14 January 2003 17:31 (twenty-three years ago)

"London Nights" by the London Boys was great
