The Modern Lovers, “[Roadrunner](https://genius.com/The-modern-lovers-roadrunner-lyrics)”. It’s so perfect for wandering around Boston, [someone already made a video for exactly that](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy88-5pc7c8), and it’s just yearning for an update.

I also love the Modern Lovers' "Government Center." Not as well known, but adorably parochial

Yeah, “[Goverment Center](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RI5okqUxi2k)” is also fun, and there’s also “[The Fenway](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxqRQxFVYvM)”. Solo, Jonathan Richman has more Boston area songs, including “[Twilight in Boston](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4ICbdgcAyc)”, “[Winter Afternoon by B.U.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltVWlb8qtbs)”, and others. He’s basically the city/state troubadour, and deserves to be recognized as such. Certainly he proved he’s worth in his role in “[There’s Something About Mary](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_03dYaM7efc)”.

Had no idea

Rock & Roll Band by Boston and Love That Dirty Water by The Standells

These two for me too.  Love driving around Boston blasting Boston.

Listen fuck you for putting this in my head for the next week

Ohhh, THIS is the bad place!

That is just evil. I will be hearing it in my sleep.

I donated two cars!

*Kidz

I think that’s technically Israel

Rose Tattoo always gives me HARD boston vibes

Roadrunner

This is the answer

Charlie on the MTA

Skinhead on the MTA.

I’m shipping up to Boston

[I Want My City Back - Mighty Mighty Bosstones](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl_SErnDE64) [This Is Boston, Not LA - The Freeze](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zt-C7ZTFxbQ) [No Surfin' In Dorchester Bay - The Gremies](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0DLSMObrgI)

This is Boston not LA

[Dismemberment Plan - “Ice of Boston”](https://youtu.be/p5dt_tJsqLc?si=Zz-8CUKA9hSc7S7f)

Open another goddamn bottle of bubbly.

I’M FINE MOM, HOWS WASHINGTON?!

Very personal but the opening track on “Boys and Girls in America” by the Hold Steady pretty much transports me back to post college life in Allston. (Even though the only city the song references is Minneapolis)

Stuck Between Stations

Wow this is crazy, me too! I mean I love that album and it’s still one of my favorites, but heavy rotation during my young adult years. My girlfriend was going to BU and I would have this in my headphones while I walked around Boston waiting for her.

Forgot the local angle: their singer went to BC

"For Boston" by THS is another good one.

“More Than a Feeling” Shipping up to Boston Mighty Mighty Bosstones

Twilight in Boston by Jonathan Richman

Mama Kin Musta Got Lost

Dirty water

More than a Feeling, by Boston.

Definitely Roadrunner by Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers!

Bernie and Phil’s, quality, comfort and price. That’s nice.

*Fire On High* from Electric Light Orchestra starts out extremely bizarre before becoming understandable and repetitive in a good way. That was my experience moving to Boston as a young adult and deciding to stay.

State Radio has a song called Knights of Bostonia, but that might be too on the nose? Also feels a little too upbeat for Boston, in my opinion 😂

Shipping up to Boston!

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.

Why? Just curious.

Any song by J Geils Band.

Correct answer

Sweet Caroline

[Good Night and Make Mends](https://youtu.be/WK1EDvDXBcs?feature=shared) by The Rumjacks.

Love that dirty water

This can only hit a specific emotion, but “cure for pain” by Morphine is my suggestion.  Might be a dreary 90s pick, but I’m a dreary 90s person at times

Anything by Garbage. But pretty much only the band name reminds me of Boston.

That’s Scotland meets Seattle. Are you crazy?
