What is your favorite Springsteen song? (assuming you have one!)
And why?

    Drive All Night
    When I was about 23 and heartbroken I would get drunk, put the needle down on The River / Drive All Night, lay down on the floor in front of the speakers and close my eyes.
    Sounds sad, but it felt really good at the time.
    I still have a soft spot for that song.

    Streets of Philadelphia is what first came to mind. In its context, so hard hitting, especially the first time I heard it. The sense of brokenness, of sadness, of where to turn next? Beautiful piece of writing.

    My Hometown - just sweetness. Nostalgic sweetness.

    Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out for the big man.

    Guess I'm more into his older stuff; my old cassette tapes of *edit Born to Run & Darkness were worn out years ago. Not a fan of his poppier music, but yeah...those two albums hit me with their openness and simplicity.

    My City of Ruins
    Streets of Philadelphia
    Jungleland

    Hard to pick between these 3.
