favorite Springsteen song

edited November 2007 in Other Music
I finally saw the movie Reign Over Me yesterday and I was so blown away when I heard my favorite Bruce song, Drive All Night. I cried like a baby. It was an emotional scene and the song just took me back. In my single days when I was "smooth and strong", I would lay on the the floor in front of the speakers, drunk, and blast that song. I'm sure my roomie didn't appreciate it.

What is your favorite Springsteen song?

    It's close, but in terms of what songs mean to me, THE PROMISED LAND is on top. It's one of my all time favorites.

    And Candy's Room sucks. ;)

    I've been getting into more and more of Bruce's music. Love the new album, I listen to it at least twice a day.


    I love this version of Thunder Road.



    I hope for some Milwaukee shows. :)

    I think Jungleland is my all-time favorite. Maybe. :)

    'Born To Run' has to be one of the greatest rock songs ever written.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Changes all the time but right now, it's Long Walk Home from his new album. Not many artists continue to get the amount of critical acclaim and commercial sucsess that Springsteen does in his later years, not even Pearl Jam.

    ...Not really sure why everyone loves the early Bruce songs.The stuff he did in the 90's and this decade has been most interesting for me.It seems a lot more personal.

    I hate to sound generic, but "Born to Run" is my favorite. That song has a vitality that still sounds fresh 30+ years later. Also, that's one of the only songs that has made me cry - in a good way, I was going through some bad stuff and it came on and the tears started falling.

    Other faves:
    Out in the Street (the version on Live in NYC gives me shivers every time)
    Night
    Jungleland
    My Love Will Not Let You Down
    It's Hard to Be A Saint in the City (GREAT lyrics)
    Independence Day

    At the moment I would have to say If I Should Fall Behind. I used it a few weeks ago as the song my father walked me down the aisle to at my wedding. I love this song.

    5.) Trapped (well, his version...at the time of it's release, it's meaning was infinite)

    4.) Tunnel of Love (just a great driving/singing tune)

    3.) Rosalita (my first Bruce song that I loved)

    2.) Thunder Road (got yelled at so many times slamming the screen door)

    1.) Badlands (seeing my daughter's hair swaying back and forth as she was grooving to this song in the back seat while I was driving down the Jersey Turnpike just brought a proud papa to tears...especially when Clarence comes in and she screams "it's the Big Man!".
    I love to turn you on
