I blame Wynton, what was the question?

Centerfield - John Fogerty
thats about it
I'm sure there's plenty more. I can think of a few about car racing, most of them pretty forgettable... several about running, including a decent one by Manfred Mann's Earth Band... a quite cringe-inducing one about Australian Rules Football...Originally Posted by klothos
For what it's worth there was also an Australian band called The Sports, who had a number of hits about things entirely unrelated to sport.

Slade - Slam The Hammer Down

I really like this one by Sam Bush, a noted Cardinals fan.
Sam also did a beautiful mandolin version of the classic baseball song.
Tons of surfing and hot rod tunes from the early 60s to the present, e.g., Surfin' by the Beach Boys, Drag City by Jan & Dean, etc., etc., etc.

True. Of course in those days surfing was still mostly a leisure pursuit rather than a competitive sport.
Charlie, of course, does not surf, as the Clash were kind enough to inform us.
Hurricane - Dylan
No one's mentioned Talkin' Baseball (Willie, Mickey & The Duke)?? - Terry Cashman

Yeah, but those aren't so much about "sports" so much as about teenagers hanging around and goofing off and having fun.
That's actually the song I saw on VH-1 Classic last night that made me pose the question. I hate that song, especially that obnoxious drum machine hand clap thing, which seems to be about three times louder than it needs to be in the mix.

Are those albums actually about sports, or do they just have the word "sports" in the title? Big difference there.
Not prog but I enjoy this bit of 80s now and again
