Fun with playlists: brain
The list of "brain" songs is quite short--short enough to make a single CD of them.
1. Attila - Brain Invasion (5:40)
2. Devo - S.I.B. (Swelling Itching Brain) (4:24)
3. Hawkwind - Brainstorm (8:32) (Zones version--live)
4. Hawkwind - Brainstorm (11:32) (Doremi Fasol Latido version--studio)
5. Hawkwind - Running Through the Back Brain (6:13)
6. Jeff Beck - Scatterbrain (5:32)
7. Petra - Computer Brains (3:53)
8. Pink Floyd - Brain Damage (5:19) (Works version)
9. Pink Floyd - Brain Damage (3:50) (Dark Side of the Moon version)
The Works version of "Brain Damage" is longer because it includes "Eclipse."

Fun with playlists
Before I posted the "rain" playlist a while back, I had to delete out several "brain" and "train" songs. So I thought I'd try those words to see what I had deleted. First here's a "train" playlist, from which I deleted only one song that had the word "Ponchartrain" in it.
Alphanumeric order.
1. 4 Non Blondes - Train (3:42)
2. Bill Monroe - New River Train (3:40)
3. Billy Berry & His Ellington All-Stars - Take The "A" Train (from "For Duke") (4:25)
4. Brown Recluse - Night Train (2:41)
5. Dan Zanes - Catch That Train (3:22)
6. Duke Ellington - Take The "A" Train (5:22)
7. Duke Ellington - Take The "A" Train (2:58)
8. Duke Ellington - Take the A Train (4:12)
9. Eagles - Train Leaves Here This Morning (4:06)
10. Emmylou Harris - Mystery Train (2:37)
11. Golem - Train Across Ukraine (3:37)
12. Jimmie Rodgers - Waiting For A Train (2:45)
13. Jimmy Smith & Wes Montgomery - Happy-Go-Lucky Local (aka "Night Train") (6:48)
14. Johnny Cash - Blue Train (2:01)
15. Joni Mitchell - Just Like This Train (4:24)
16. Marc Cohn - Ghost Train (4:13)
17. Michelle Shocked - If Love Was a Train (4:07)
18. Moxy - Train (4:39)
19. Norman Blake - Eastbound Freight Train (3:35)
20. O'Jays - Love Train (3:00)
21. Ottmar Liebert - Dreaming on the Starlight Train (4:55)
22. Pat Metheny Group - Last Train Home (5:41)
23. Precious Few - The Train Kept A-Rollin' (3:07)
24. Richard Davis - Take The A Train (3:15)
25. The Clash - Train In Vain (Stand By Me) (3:08)
26. The Doors - Black Train Song (12:25)
27. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Hear My Train A Comin' (5:00)
28. The Monkees - Last Train To Clarksville (2:46)
29. The Psychedelic Furs - Into You Like a Train (4:27)
30. Trainwreck Riders - Don't You Know (2:30)
31. Wednesday Week - That Train (3:31)
32. The Highwaymen - Desperados Waiting For A Train (4:36)
33. World Standard - Hollyville Train (4:31)
Easy to see one piece that stands out on this list. Three different versions of "Take the 'A' Train" by Duke Ellington alone. Plus two other versions by other artists. Another notable jazz piece is "Night Train." Note: the one on this list by Brown Recluse is a pop song, not the jazz standard. The Jimmy Smith version titled "Happy-Go-Lucky Local" is an older version of the piece (originally composed by Ellington) and was more jazz-oriented. Later versions that were titled "Night Train" have a more R&B/pop sort of feeling.
Errata: Oops, just noticed #30 should not be on the list. Turned up because of the group's name. I don't think #26 should rightly be there either, because I think that's "train" as a verb rather than "train" as a noun.
Winamp details: 33 tracks in playlist, average track length: 4:07.
