Does anybody have any songs that make you think of Stephen King's Dark Tower series?

Question

I've been into the Dark Tower series for so many years that I'd love to visit Thunderclap Station and drink a bottle of Nozz-a-la! For some reason, Gary Wright's "Love is Alive" really gives me mental pictures. Are there any tunes that take you back to End World (or other places)?

I have several of them.  Most, but not all, are songs mentioned in the series itself:

Hey Jude (Beatles)
Velcro Fly (ZZ Top)
Someone Saved My Life Tonight (Elton John)
Calling Dr. Love (KISS)
Hey Nineteen (Steely Dan)
Paint it Black (Rolling Stones)
The Lion Sleeps Tonight (The Tokens)
19th Nervous Breakdown (Rolling Stones)
Do It Again (Steely Dan)
(Ghost) Riders in the Sky (The Outlaws)
Train, Train (Blackfoot)

I know there are others, but I'm coming up blank for now.  :)
