Hmmmm, too much though required...hehhehheh

....I'll make it easy and just say (and, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's more than 10 songs)
Greetings From Asbury Park, the Wild The Innocent and The E Street Shuffle, and Born To Run....these 3 albums epitomized my teenage summers spent at the NJ shore (Surf City, specifically...) during the mid '70's

Ahhh, the memories.....working mid-night shift in a sweaty bakery, laying on the beach all day with a cutie who smelled of coconut tanning oil, running from the beach patrol cops at night into the salty air darkness, the scent of a big fat spliff wafting across the dunes.....Ahhhh, .... the memories

Hey, nice to see someone likes Meeting Across the River, it's my favourite Bruce song as well

Some of my friends who are much bigger fans of Bruce than me don't care much for the song at all.

Same here. Are you big on Bruce, Blue?

It always amazes me that Tunnel of Love doesn't get more respect. Ok, its over-produced in places and a little patchy, but there are some really great songs on there. One Step Up, Valentines' Day, Walk Like a Man, Brilliant Disguise, All that Heaven Will Allow and Two Faces. Fantastic Stuff. Ok, so they haven't got the excitement of Bruce chasing girls in a Thunderbird, but they are beautifully crafted and say more to me about life than say, Racing In the Streets (which I love anyway).

noiseradio · Post by **noiseradio** » Wed May 11, 2005 12:25 pm

Not in order, but my favorite 10:

1. Streets of Philadelphia
2. Dead Man Walking
3. Ghost of Tom Joad
4. Born to Run
5. You're Missing
6. Blinded by the Light
7. Sinaloa Cowboys
8. My City of Ruins
9. The River
10. Thunder Road

TheImposter · Post by **TheImposter** » Wed May 11, 2005 5:53 pm

List would change from day to day but for now:

Backstreets
Fade Away
Rockaway The Days
Rosalita
One Step Up
State Trooper
Sherry Darling
It's Hard To Be A Saint In The City
Prove It All Night
Loose Ends

"Tunnel of Love" is one I return to a lot. Elvis obviously likes it, and I think it parallels "King of America" in certain ways. Mature, graceful, rootsy songwriting after the big Eighties production. If only Springsteen weren't so fond of synths.....

Goody2Shoes · Post by **Goody2Shoes** » Fri May 13, 2005 3:05 pm

Except for the first two, in no particular order:

1. Thunder Road
2. Candy's Room
3. Brilliant Disguise
4. Night
5. Drive All Night
6. Sherry Darling
7. Ties That Bind
8. Out In The Street
9. Glory Days
10. Rosalita

You could say so. I think I went through a mega-Springsteen phase around 2000. I don't really have much of his stuff on CD, except for his last few records, but I have most of his stuff on vinyl, and I've seen him in concert twice with the E-Street Band.
