At his blog, Joe Posnanski has a poll asking people to vote for their choices for Bruce Springsteen's 10 best songs. (Earlier, he asked for nominations, and received 203 different titles.) He gives us a list of 27 songs:
Atlantic City
Backstreets
Badlands
Born In the U.S.A.
Born to Run
Brilliant Disguise
Dancing in the Dark
Darkness on the Edge of Town
Glory Days
Growin’ Up
Hungry Heart
I’m On Fire
Incident on 57th Street
Jungleland
Land Of Hope And Dreams
No Surrender
The Promise
The Promised Land
Prove it All Night
Racing in the Street
The Rising
The River
Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)
Spirit in the Night
Streets of Philadelphia
Tenth Avenue Freeze Out
Thunder Road
The kicker is not just picking 10, but ranking them from 1 (the very best) to 10.
Without comment, here's my list (from #1 to #10):
Born to Run
Thunder Road
The Promised Land
Atlantic City
Brilliant Disguise
Darkness on the Edge of Town
Hungry Heart
No Surrender
The River
Spirit in the Night
Having voted, I realize that I might move "The River" up to #4. Oh, well.
