[marty21]

I think I get it, but it's thin ground to work with...

Guitar Town - Steve Earle
Funky Town - Lipps Inc

correct, but already named

Hooverville - The Christians

OK so that's wrong unless you're Wayne Rooney. Sorry.

Egypt(ian) Reggae - Modern Lovers

see, that's not REALLY it either. It's a type of reggae, it's not a place named FOR reggae.

Egyptian Reggae

Soulville

not the same.

See, here's where it gets tricky.

REM - (Don't Go Back to) Rockville

It could be a musical place in your terms, but in Mike Mills' head it probably was either an entirely different metaphor in mind (rock = barren, stony) and, as it happens, a real place in the form of Rockville, Maryland, where his girlfriend at the time was from.

So do I get shouted at or not?
