Funny that on another site this was done recently, suppose I will have to go with my answer from there. Sunshine Underground - Borders.
I might nick the idea from that forum and set up a Spotify playlist of these (well the tracks that are on there), I'll pick the 1st song mentioned by each person to keep it simple.
