Just started really getting into his deeper album stuff and wow, he was a great songwriter and his songs have a very dramatic feel to them. I recently made a CD, which mixes album tracks and hits together:

 

1. Thunder Road

2. Backstreets

3. Born to Run

4. Jungleland

5. Badlands

6. Racing in the Street

7. Prove It All Night

8. Hungry Heart

9. The River

10. Born in the U.S.A.

11. I'm on Fire

12. Glory Days

13. Dancing in the Dark

14. My Hometown

15. Brilliant Disguise

16. Streets of Philadelphia

I'm a big Springsteen fan, my parents like him and my roomate loves him also, so I hear tons Springsteen all the time. Good CD too--though I would have included some stuff from Nebraska and his first two albums--stuff like "Spirit of the Night", "Rosalita", or "Highway Patrolman" for example.

I've got "Rosalita" on my second CD.

Well my parents were young enough to hear Bruce Springsteen in high school and they are both from New Jersey sssooo I may actually be the Boss' illegitimate child. But Bruce has grown on me... my favorite songs-

 

"For You"

"Backstreets" (Am I the only one to adore this song?)

"Spirit In the Night"

"Badlands"

"Born to Run"

"The River"

"Rosalita"

"Thunder Road"

Not his biggest fan, but Born to Run is a great song. And Born to Run live is even greater.

"Backstreets" (Am I the only one to adore this song?)

 

Definitely not. That's one of my top four favorite songs by him.

[Guest Ransome]

Apart from the songs listed, I'm partial to 'Atlantic City', and 'Lonesome Day' from his most recent album.

"Atlantic City" is my favourite Boss song by far, although the whole "Nebraska" album is great. Also, the first line of "Hungry Heart" (had a wife and kid in Baltimore, jack/ I went out for a ride and I never came back) is one of my favourite opening lyrics for a song.

How could you forget No Surrender and The Rising?

I don't get the "wrapped up like a douche" line in "Blinded By the Light".

[The Ill One 0]

I don't get the "boys in their high heels" line from Sandy. But I never finished listening to that song.

[Guest PlatinumBoy]

I don't get the "wrapped up like a douche" line in "Blinded By the Light".

The line actually is "revved up like a deuce". Which makes sense--cars and stuff. The cover had "wrapped up like a deuce". Which doesn't make sense.

"Streets Of Philadelphia" has excellent lyrics. I know I could get into him more, I've just never given him a shot.

"show a little faith, there's magic in the night,

you ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright"

 

I always thought that that was one of the best lyrics ever from Thunder Road.

 

Also, I second the Atlantic City love.

 

Seeing a Bruce show is always a great time too. They put a lot of energy out there.

I like Bruce, Born to Run may be the most solid album from start to finish. And I understand what kind of album The Rising is, and all the critics had to love it, but I wasn't feeling it. Although I hate when an artist I like gets so wrapped up in politics and goes on and on about it.

I'm not a huge Bruce fan, but I will give the guy props for not having a very good voice but still being able to sell millions and go down as a music legend...
