Kindly share your favorite SPRINGSTEEN tune

[Bossy Monkey]

On a day in day out basis, mine is probably Nebraska, cuz I'm a sick fuck, even though in terms of emotional impact Atlantic City from the same record is probably the stronger song. But just to be difficult, I'll go with Seeds from E Street Band Live 75-85. Nobody's ever sounded angrier about anything.

(Note: if you just can't make up your mind, just post the first thing that comes in your head, then post something else later. I assure you nobody will think less of you.)

Yours?

1. Glory Days!!!!!

[Whitacre D_WI]

2. Adam Raised a Cain.

[bkcc]

3. Thunder Road...

But "Rosalita" is a close second.

[maxpower]

4. Atlantic City

Great song, and south Jersey rules.

[Bossy Monkey]

18. Not really following the connection. Saying this song is in praise of

S. Jersey is kind of like Reagan trying to use Born In The USA as a campaign song. Truly great song, but it gives about as cheerful a picture of Atlantic City as the Malle film also of the same name.

[Wickerman]

5. Wild Billy's Circus Story

love that whole LP

[BurtWorm]

6. Street Hassle

;) Sorry, I'm on a Lou Reed kick.

[felonious thunk]

7. Ghost of Tom Joad

The rest of that album isn't all that much, but I love that song.

[peekaloo]

24. I really like 'Sinaloa Cowboys' and 'Youngstown' from that album.

[Tempest]

8. Independence Day

Like Bruce, my father died before we could resolve our differences.

[Melodybe]

10. I love Springsteen, at every concert he urges people not to vote for Bush!

He is a good man and a good democrat, good bless.

Actually Philidelphia is my favorite Springsteen song, I just like it.

But Born in the USA is a close second, but only b/c Springsteen told Reagan to fuck off.

9. The Thong Song!

The Boss really rocks that one.

[Hobarticus]

11. Darkness On the Edge of Town

[deutsey]

12. I've always loved the last half of the "Born to Run" album

Beginning with "Born To Run", followed by "She's The One", "Meeting Across The River", and concluding with "Jungleland", I've always loved the mood these songs together evoke for me.

[woofless]

13. Read my mind!

"Meeting Across The River" followed by "Jungleland". Play 'em together, so powerful.

[CPschem]

14. Jungle Land!

[THUNDER HANDS]

27. I second that

As my name would imply.

[deadeye]

15. The screen door slams, Mary's dress waves.

Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays...

[mcar]

33. One of my favorite song lines ever

I also like "The River."

[Feanorcurufinwe]

16. Spirit in the Night

I love the emotions it evokes in me.

[Beefheart]

28. I'll second that

"Spirit in the Night" is a perfect song. Great lyrics, dramatic, a little bit of soul, rock n' roll. With the obligatory car reference, it's kinda the blueprint for what you might call "the Springsteen song," the most definitive being "Born to Run," my other favorite.

"The E Street Shuffle" and "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" are the best Springsteen rave-ups.

"Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street?" is my most obscure favorite.

"Mary Queen of Arkansas" is hands-down the worst song. That and all of his most recent album.

[rankdog]

17. Growin' up

"I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said "Sit down" I stood up."

Very powerful stuff to me when I heard it at 15. Now I'm an old fart and I still stand up.

[Bossy Monkey]

19. Can't BELIEVE Magic Rat hasn't weighed in :-)

Gimme some more nominations and maybe we'll get a poll out of this

[regularguy]

20. "For you", "Lost in the Flood"

Pretty much anything from "Greetings..."

[qb]

21. Hungry Heart

Probably too bubble gum for most fans, but it's a nostalgia thing.

[Duncan Grant]

22. Badlands.

I love his vocal on that track and I've never grown tired of hearing it!

[mouse7]

23. All of them!

BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE!

[peekaloo]

25. 'Ramrod' from 'The River'

It makes me laugh....:shrug:

[radwriter0555]

26. Born to Run!!! ... the ULTIMATE Classic...

Every line is a classic in that one... every line; then the RIPPING guitar intros and bridges, not to MENTION the sax riff????

[Bonhomme Richard]

29. Rosalita

[kodi]

30. so many, so many. either Thunder Road or DOTEOT

i think springsteen's best album was Darkness. all 4 corners of that album rocked.

[demon67]

31. Top Five are . . .

5. Backstreets
4. Drive All Night
3. My Beautiful Reward
2. Wreck on the Highway
1. Thunder Road

[Lavender Brown]

32. "Brilliant Disguise" (n/t)

[Westegg]

34. Two live tracks, one legit, one bootleg...

"Thunder Road" live, from the '75-'85 Box Set. Just Bruce and the piano. Genius.

"Incident On 57th Street" from the radio broadcast, live from the Main Point in Pennsylvania, Feb. 5, 1975. Stunningly brilliant. Never fails to move me. I think I'll listen to it now.

Oh yeah---he's got a few other snappy numbers too!

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

35. Tenth Avenue Freeze Out and Fever

[Kat45]

36. "Born to Run" is the first one that popped into my head, but

there are so many great ones "Thunder Road" and "Rosalita" are a couple of more of my favorites. My favorite of the lesser-known ones, which was also one of the first songs that got me into Springsteen, is "It's Hard to Be a Saint in the City."

[Shopaholic]

37. His remake of "Trapped"

[Bossy Monkey]

38. This often sticks in my head for days on end

but I keep my lips buttoned, as I'm not sure what the gf would think about me singing this song REAL LOUD. (And no, the gf situation isn't the one inspiring me to sing "Trapped"; just life in general).
