[mac56]

5. "Darkness On The Edge Of Town"

nm

[Wickerman]

6. 4th Of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)

Anything off the Wild, Innocent E Street Shuffle, off of Greetings? Thatis when Springsteen was great imo. THe rest of the stuff paels. The Whole Born to run rcord is incredible, but the stuff on the Greetings and E Street Shuffle disks is so incredible for a young artist.

[SweetZombieJesus]

[OneBlueSky]

Nwe York City Serenade, from second album . . . not one of his best known, just one of his best . . .

[unblock]

9. "wreck on the highway"

or maybe "the river"?

oh, how about "blinded by the light"??

"badlands", hmm, or maybe "rosalita"???

10. Speaking of Springsteen...

This just in from Freak Republic:

<snip>
"Rock star Bruce Springsteen called for the impeachment of President George W. Bush at a nearly sold-out concert at FedEx Field just outside of Washington, DC tonight. During the introductions of his back-up band, The E Street Band, Springsteen said of saxophonist Clarence Clemons, "It's time to impeach the president and get a man in there to get us out of this mess." The audience cheered in response."


Hey Bruce...
:yourock:

16. I love to hear Freepers whining.

This could be the turning point. Bruce has kept relatively quiet about politics lately, but he could lead the way for artists to finally step up to the plate against the Clear Channel lead censorship of commercial radio.

11. Streets of Philadelphia was haunting.

Bruce and I go waaaaay back. I like it all...and he is the BEST concert performer around. Great energy.

[billbuckhead]

13. Downbound train,Racing in the streets, Sandy, darkness on the edge

Meeting across the river, It's hard to be a saint in the city, The Fever, Atlantic city.....this guy sure has been prolific.

[Dover]

12. Downbound Train.........n/t

,,,

[billbuckhead]

14. Ever hear the Smithereens or Raul of the Mavericks do Downbound train?

Or David Bowie do Saint in the city? I think Downbound train is one of the saddest songs ever made. Even Hank Williams or George Jones can't match that one.

[Dover]

15. No....I'll check it out. Who's version do you like best?..........n/t

...

[billbuckhead]

18. They're all good

The Smithereens version is on "One Step Up/Two Steps Down" anthology. Rauls version is on another anthology I don't have or remember the name of. I highly recommend the "One Step Up/Two Steps Down" recording.

[Dover]

17. BTW - which Smithereens and Mavericks albums is that song on? ..n/t

,

[regnaD kciN]

21. Either...

Thunder Road, The River (which is really Thunder Road Part II), or My Hometown.

[LanternWaste]

22. Incident on 57th Street

I gotta go with "Incident on 57th Street". That was the song which turned me on to The Boss's music. Saw him in concert one time back in '83 and all I can say is, "Damn, that guy is good".

[DinahMoeHum]

23. Can't do it. I love too many of his songs to pick just one.

n/t

:bounce:

[DrGonzoLives]

24. Atlantic City

n/m

[AmandaRuth]

25. another vote for

Atlantic City

[Cocoa]

26. "Cover me" n/t

[Kat45]

27. Can't choose just one--

he has so many great songs. I don't think I could even choose a greatest song off one album because each album has so many good ones.
