So far ...
Richard Skelton.
Feel certain that there must be a Doves track that references the Pennines.

The Doves track ? Winter Hill. Reckon it could be West Pennines? So it's not on the Pennine Way

The Oldham Tinkers - The Pennine Rangers

Speaking of the great King of the Slums, their "Pennine Splitter" might do the trick.

The Pennine Spitter! Good call!

Jon Boden - Pilgrim on the Pennine Way
― American Fear of Pranksterism (Ed), Monday, 21 March 2011 21:53 (fourteen years ago)
Feel like there needs to be some brass band action on this thing
― ka£ka (NickB), Monday, 21 March 2011 21:54 (fourteen years ago)
Hah. I seem to have entered it into iTunes as "Splitter" and never looked back. One tagging error down, 8000 to go.

^ thinking these would ruin your playlist quite considerably though
― ka£ka (NickB), Monday, 21 March 2011 22:07 (fourteen years ago)
lol there is a Chumbawamba song (released on their out of print "Sportchestra" 2LP) that is called "Walking The Pennine Way" and is about this very thing/

Oh yeah:
The Fall - What About Us?
Shipman practised in Todmorden. There's gotta be other Fall references to so some of the places on the route though eh?

Meat Puppets "Plateau"
Hood ^ are a great bleak choice.If it's grey and pissing it down- they evoke the whole place

In A Beautiful Place Out in the Country - Boards Of Canada
― Jessie Fer Ark (Mobbed Up Ping Pong Psychos), Monday, 21 March 2011 22:39 (fourteen years ago)
Hood definitely going on there, as are Boards of Canada (both for ambience rather than specific locations).

As for the original question, The Pennine Way briefly drops down into Swaledale. Hence Jake Thackray's 'Go Little Swale' and 'Old Molly Metcalfe'.
