[Music] Favourite Springsteen song

[The Mole]

Can’t possibly choose one song so am I allowed to nominate Darkness on the Edge of Town as his finest album?

 

[Nobby]

A favourite - maybe not the favourite - brilliant live

But apt today.

So many Springsteen fans will likely not reckon much on my choices here but his music has been the mainstay of my last 40 years so:
1, Human Touch
2, Tunnel of Love
2, Reason to Believe

First saw him live at the Brighton Centre on The River tour., so have been a fan for sometime.

Favourite song, difficult but today have gone with

 

[MACCAPACCA]

Racing in the Street

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

So many to choose from, I could easily list 10 or 20.

Two which immediately come to mind, which are not obvious are No Surrender , a classic rock and roll love song in typical Springsteen style , and Streets of Philadelphia.

 

[Beach Hut]

Working on a dream

 

[WATFORD zero]

I remember finding this and doing a cover of it just after he released it many many years ago

 

[Leekbrookgull]

So subjective, seen him five times but Roll of the dice, Rosalita, Wrecking Ball, Walk like a man in fact for me far to many to list.

 

[jcdenton08]

Dancing in the Dark because I only know a handful, not a huge fan, and that’s the one I like best.

Prepared for judgement by the music mafia on NSC

Many of his known hits I can't stand but he has also recorded many album tracks that are absolute gems. Current favourites:

- State Trooper (Nebraska)
- If I Shall Fall Behind (Lucky Town)
- My Best Was Never Good Enough (Ghost of Tom Joad)

Was lucky enough to catch him on the solo acoustic tour at the RAH (it was sold out but I phoned the venue every day until a got a couple of returns!).

 

[Frutos]

Tough choice, probably either No Surrender or Thunder Road if I were pressed.

So many classics though, and he and the Band put on by far the best live shows I've ever been to.

 

[Albion my Albion]

Dah Do Run Run.

Oh, wait, that's Billy Joel, correct?

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

1. Meeting across the river
2. Jungle land
3. Born to run

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

“Baby we were born to run” followed by (Van Zandt’s?) riffs is a goosebumps moment .

Just awesome!

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

Bruce haters please ignore.

With pleasure

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

I'm at his gig at the Stadium of Light tonight. It's like spending an evening in the trenches during the Battle of the Somme. I'm about 10 minutes away from trench foot.

A friend of mine's gone to that gig.
I met him for a while outside the stadium, a few minutes later he messaged me to say that it was somehow raining even more inside than it had been outside.
His bus home's at about 3:30am, bless him.

I can confirm I have seen less water in the ocean than is currently in my shoe.

A friend of mine is also there. This was his message at 17:40
On my way in to the Stadium of Light for Springsteen. Biblical rain all day so I’m in waterproof everything. f***ing climate change


Oh, Born to run.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

I can confirm I have seen less water in the ocean than is currently in my shoe.

Sounds very similar to the train queue after AEK at home - but at least you’ve had Springsteen to entertain you!
