In the UK Guardian newspaper a felleow called Simon Hoggart has written interestingly about songs about towns in the USA versus streets in the UK, here (2nd paragraph down):
http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2008/jun/07/1
I have sent him a link to your lists.
Bleeker Street Simon and Garfunkel
Superfluity gives life its charm ! Two songs I like seem not to be in your streets list : 2nd Avenue by Tim Moore and Heartache Avenue by the Maisonettes…
Jean-Luc
You're missing Respectable Street (XTC) and Fascination Street (The Cure).
A couple more:
Denmark Street - The Kinks
Virginia Avenue - Tom Waits
Electric Avenue
61 Highway by Mississippi Fred McDowell
