Readers recommend: songs about addresses

When you know where someone lives, or where an institution is based, you know a defining fact about them. After all, our address denotes our home.

So certain addresses have a distinct resonance or significance, and so can inspire songs. Which do you think are the best? Post your suggestions below and we'll gather the most compelling into a playlist next week.

Don't worry about the postcode, but the name of the street or road and the number of the building must be included in the lyric and/or the song title. If the address isn't included in the title, it should be central to the song, not just mentioned in passing.

* Thanks to thewinslowboy for suggesting this week's topic. If you can think of a good theme for Readers Recommend, please email jon.dennis@guardian.co.uk

* Listen to others' suggestions and add yours to a collaborative Spotify playlist

* Guide to "donds", "zedded", and other strange words used by some of the RR regulars (courtesy of the Marconium)

* The Marconium (blog containing a wealth of data on RR, including the songs that are "zedded")

* The 'Spill (blog for the RR community)

Please do:

* Post your nominations before midday on Tuesday if you wish them to be considered.

* Write a few lines advocating the merits of your choices.

But please don't:

* Post more than one third of the lyrics of any song.

* Simply list your nominations. We want to know why you like these songs, and why they're apt for the theme.
