Categories: Music on Muni

Okay, so none of these songs -- with the possible exception of one -- are technically about our transit system here in San Francisco. But this post on Muni Diaries got us thinking: What music would we play if we could be a Muni DJ for a day? And even better, what songs capture the essence of our favorite and most-used Muni lines? So we got to thinking and listening, and came up with this list of the top six songs we'd love to play on Muni, along with which lines they'd make a perfect soundtrack for.

6. N-Judah: Jimi Hendrix, "Hear My Train A Comin'"
Key lyric: "Well, I'm waiting down the train station, waiting for that train/ Waiting for the train to take me from this lonesome place."
Why it works for Muni: In addition to being one of our favorite songs of all time (we're partial to one particular live electric version), Hendrix here perfectly captures one of the major blues of life in San Francisco: Waiting for the N-Judah. And waiting. And waiting some more. When he sings, "I'm gonna come back and by this town," we hope Jimi means he might just buy Muni and fix it, too.
