Wow, what a lame heading, ha.
I was going to make this pretty and elaborate, but lets keep it simple;
Name some Rock songs that mention fictional places [cities/towns etc] in the song title, album title or lyrics..
The ever predictable Cinnamon contributes "Paradise City" by Guns N' Roses.
-gasps- "GNR? Really? Wow, I didn't know you were a fan!"

Bowzer; I'm pretty sure Xanadu is/was an actual place. Part of the Mongolian Empire or something. Maybe i'm wrong [i'll google it].
Sarah c; I know, you never would have guessed it - i hardly mention them. [lmao]

The Dark Side of the Moon. Pink Floyd.
As the man says... "there is no Dark Side of the Moon really... it's all dark"!
By the way, not only is Penny Lane a real place (full of speed bumps) but so is Strawberry Fields... it's aplot of land just round the corner from Lennon's childhood home where he played . There is still a gatepost bearing the name. see pic
