🚂 Top 10 Rock & Hip-Hop Train Songs

For when your building runs on tight schedules — but the MTA doesn’t. (BTW – We loved the Monkees, but there are classics that better fit our vibe.)

1. 🎸 Gladys Knight & the Pips – “Midnight Train to Georgia”
   Sometimes you gotta leave that Midtown office life and take the express to sanity.
2. 🎸 Bruce Springsteen – “Downbound Train”
   Feels like a metaphor for elevator 3 after a ConEd brownout.
3. 🎸 Ozzy Osbourne – “Crazy Train”
   For property managers trying to coordinate a 5-vendor service call during Fashion Week.
4. 🎤 OutKast – “Two Dope Boyz (In a Cadillac)” (ok fine, it’s a car — but has the flow of a train)
   Enough rhythm and drive to qualify for the MTA’s next theme song.
5. 🎸 Train – “Drops of Jupiter”
   Yes, the band is called Train. Yes, we had to. Also: bring snacks — this one’s emotional.
6. 🎸 The O’Jays – “Love Train”
   When all your tenants actually agree on a lobby renovation. Rare… but beautiful.
7. 🎸 Johnny Cash – “Folsom Prison Blues”
   “I hear the train a-comin’…” Also known as your supers’ Monday morning coffee.
8. 🎤 Megan Thee Stallion – “Ride or Die” (Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw)
   She doesn’t rap about trains — but she’s got more horsepower than Amtrak.
9. 🎸 The Clash – “Train in Vain”
   Like that one vendor who says they’ll show up between 10 and 4. Spoiler: they won’t.
10. 🎸 Grand Funk Railroad – “Locomotion” 
    It’s groovy, it’s gritty, it’s got wheels — just like your freight elevator when it’s finally fixed.

🎟️ Bonus Track:
Elvis Presley – “Mystery Train”
Just like the origin of that puddle in the sub-basement: unclear, unstoppable, and always running.
