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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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!).

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.

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

With pleasure
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.

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