Shortline Bus

Speaking of old school. Hard to believe this song was released and became a #1 Pop hit 40 years ago this month.(January 1972)

Slick Rick and this late '80's Hip Hop classic.

From a Christmas-theme film in the late '80's that did not do great at the box office. In recent years it has become a Holiday Season Cult classic. Here the theme song to the Bill Murray starring as a modern day Mr. Scoorge in "Scrooged" Annie Lennox and Al Green remake of a 1960's hit Jackie DeShannon song.

I am sure our friend from Toronto the AverageJoe has something to say on this.:eek:

"The airport rail link from downtown will take a step forward when construction begins next spring for completion before the 2015 Pan Am Games, Premier Dalton McGuinty said Monday. The line — which piggybacks most of the way on the existing GO Train tracks to Georgetown — will include a new 3-kilometre spur line branching off to Pearson’s Terminal One. The project is pegged at a cost of $128.6 million, creating about 1,200 jobs, and will whisk passengers from the airport to downtown in 25 minutes. But there’s still no firm timetable or cost estimate for the promised conversion of the rail line from controversial diesel trains to electric ones that pollute less." Canada News: Construction to start in spring on airport rail link - thestar.com

I remember listening this to as opening/closing theme for NY Islander TV broadcasts when some of the game were on 'free tv" channel 9 during the Stanley Cup years in the early 1980's.

Sir(trainmaster)here my christmas present to you. Holiday Greetings with a Great Christmas and New Year from the Bus. PS a More recent version by Boyz II Men which i posted earlier is also a great version of this classic.

The R-32's which are arguably along with the redbirds are the best and longest-serving trains in NYC subway history. With that said and approaching 50 years of service, it long past it's retirement. The should have just brought another few R-160's also so that the entire and line would be mostly R-46's along with a few R-160's. Please no haters lol from R-32's lovers, but just like a 1979 Caddy Deville, there a time and place to move on.

Hell no it's not too early to play yuletide music classics lol. A few stations here in NY area are playing X-mas songs 24/7 until Dec. 26. So Here some of my picks. 1)Sleigh Ride" Ronettes 2)Kurtis Blow Christmas Rappin 3)Matchbox 20's Rob Thomas "New York Christmas" Performed on the Today Show Dec. 2008 or '09. (written in tribute to 9/11 victims for Christmas season 2002)

Classic by Aerosmith. "Dream ON." Aerosmith - Dream On - YouTube

Actually young man "Locomotion' has been a smash hit 2x before the Kylie '80's version. 1)Oringal 1960's version by Little Eva. 2)Grand Funk Railroad's Mid 1970's #1 classic.

Good job all the way from Athens on a huge upcoming story for NYC subway riders in which riders all over the world use. :tup: Actually i think needs to be tried. With that said while there no 'good time' to 'shut down' a segment of any line in NYC, to close a major coordior should be done for a few days, it should be IMO say when NYC public schools are closed for holidays/vactions i.e easter/passover spring break, august summer break, etc.

In honor of the end of Daylight Savings Time. Don't forget to set your clocks back in a few short minutes to Eastern Daylight Time. 'Back in Time"(Back to the Future Movie soundtrack)By Huey Lewis and the News. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YD-drh88vqY

Kiddies here couple of very early Funk R&B/HIP Hop from the early 1980's. Rap in it's infancy lol. 1)"Get Up and Dance" Freedom (1979) Remade a couple of years later by Grandmaster Flash. 2)"Freedom"(Get Up and Dance) Grandmaster Flash and Furious Five.(1982) 3)Vaughan Manson & Crew-"Bounce Rock Skate Roll"(1979) Perfect jam to skate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvgRBPJJuyM

Something different. Here the one of most unlikely #1 songs ever. This artist did not even have a deal with a major recording contract when this mid-'90's smash came out. Thus she became the first singer ever to have a #1 song without being on a major label or album in late 1994. Also one of the biggest 1-hit wonders of last 30 years as well. lisa loeb 'stay'

An underrated song especially for the Halloween holiday. Great old school rock instrumental classic from the early 1970's. "Frankstein" Edgar Winter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfQbkFp16cw

Man. For 1st time in years, a legit non-model type singer(she cute but not drop dead goregous) who well can actually sing lol. Here the current #1 pop song as of October 22, 2011 in the US and much of the western world. IMO she a cross between a young Janice Joplin, Teena Marie and even a young Whitney Houston(pre addict of course lol). Adelle "Someone like you"

You wish is my command my friend. Queen was so ahead of their time.

To the recent protests around the world of super rich vs the poor. 1)Buffalo Springfield "What it worth" 2)revolution

Hey love this hip hop classic from the mid 1990's. A tribute to Easy E. I am not into the '90's gangsta rap era but this still a great song. Best Hip Hop Ballad in the genre's history imo. "tha crossroads' bones thugs and harmony.
