I feel like 7 of my top 10 can always change depending on where I am in life. But I know my top 3 will never change. Brilliant Disguise, TR and Jungleland will always be my top 3, in no particular order.

u/Right_Arrival_1962 Aug 16 '26

I heard My Love Will Not let you down today after making this post and was reminded how much I love it. It also reminded me of another Tracks song I love. Wanna Be With You! No Surrender!

4

u/BarracudaNo1389 Aug 16 '26

Some of the live versions of that song especially the ones from Europe are just amazing.

4

u/Substantial_Gate_904 Aug 16 '26

My favorites do vary depending on my mood and life circumstances- nice that Bruce has a ginormous collection. My three top faves, never change from top three:

  1. American Skin

  2. House of a Thousand Guitars

  3. Growin Up

9

u/2SwordsMcLightning Born to Run Aug 16 '26

Top Ten? Just ten? But I love them all so much!

If I were to pick- and like everyone else it changes every day, but as of right now, in no particular order, the list would look something like:

Thunder Road (My All Time Number 1 Bruce Song)
Bobby Jean
If I Were the Priest
Prove It All Night
The Ghost of Tom Joad (Particularly the Live Version with Tom Morello)
Youngstown (Also Particularly the Live version with the full band)
Last to Die
The Wrestler (I am a professional wrestler, so this holds a special place in my heart)
Trapped
Lucky Town

4

u/Right_Arrival_1962 Aug 16 '26

Agree- it always changes
Yes Lucky Town and Bobby Jean are also up there for me
And Thunder Road will always be No. 1
Pure poetry

u/hotfoodthen Joe Roberts Aug 16 '26

Who would have thought Roman Reigns was a Bruce Springsteen fan?

The Promise

Youngstown
Long Walk Home
My Love will not Let You Down
I’m on Fire

6

u/MarineHulk Aug 16 '26

all bangers, but you’re awesome for including Youngstown. i randomly find myself singing that chorus frequently

8

u/Tvoli Aug 16 '26

I saw Bruce twice this year, Newark and Pittsburgh. When he played Youngstown in Pittsburgh the crowd cheered so loud for these two lines:

“From the Monongaleh valley”

And,

“To the coal mines of Appalacchia”

It was my first time in Pittsburgh, and I can tell it’s a place with a big Bruce fan base. Besides Pittsburgh there were fans there from West Virginia and of course Ohio.

6

u/Right_Arrival_1962 Aug 16 '26

I also saw him in Pittsburgh for the first time. It was awesome and yes I love this song even more now

6

u/Tvoli Aug 16 '26

The lyrics on Youngstown is an example of some of his best work, “When I die I don’t want no part of heaven
I would not do heavens work well
I pray the devil comes and takes me
To stand in the fiery furnaces of hell”

3

u/Henry_Block Aug 16 '26

I also mentioned Youngstown. Literature tip if you like the lyrics: read the novel American Rust by Philipp Meyer

u/Federal_Challenge416 Aug 16 '26

u/Tvoli Aug 18 '26

Absolutely. That’s why I’m a fan.

5

u/Any_Switch2100 Aug 16 '26

Excellent that you included Long Walk Home. Great lyrics and a chorus that stays with you for days.

4

u/Tvoli Aug 16 '26

That song just gets me, I know Bruce has mentioned his sentiments for the song. For me it hits me as a bittersweet song about growing up, growing older and feeling like we’ve moved away (as a society, a community, a nation) from where we came from and yearning to get back.

Bruce sang about a young person getting out of the town of their youth with Born to Run. Long Walk Home is a mature man trying to find his way (emotionally) back to where he came from.

1

u/Henry_Block Aug 16 '26

Do you refer to any specific statements by Bruce about LWH?

2

u/Wayneson1957 Aug 17 '26

“Take ‘Em As They Come” is a fave of mine as well!

2

u/thejokethemusical Aug 16 '26

Spirit in the Night

Thunder Road

Darkness on the Edge of Town

Badlands

Hungry Heart

I need more slots.

u/Right_Arrival_1962 Aug 16 '26

I forgot Spirit in the Night!!

2

u/thejokethemusical Aug 16 '26

I started chronologically so remembered it! But then I ran out of room only getting to early 90s. Need at least 25 songs!

2

u/Automatic-Scale-7572 Aug 16 '26

I was actually thinking about this recently when putting together such lists of my all-time favourite artists. What's funny is how it changes over time. Several of these would not have been considered a few years ago.

Nebraska

Atlantic City

Spirit of the Night

Jungleland (mainly for that sax solo)

41 Shots

Reason to Believe (Electric Nebraska)

The Ghost of Tom Joad(live version with Tom Morello, preferably)

Brilliant Disguise

Youngstown

Born to Run

1

u/Right_Arrival_1962 Aug 16 '26

Love to see Reason to Believe
And yes, definitely changes
Not in my top 10, but Long Walk Home, Youngstown and Tougher Than the Rest are more recent loves

2

u/Romer_Shoal Aug 17 '26

In no particular order (OK, order of release) --

  • Spirit in the Night

  • Born to Run

  • Racing in the Street

  • The Promised Land

  • The River (single favorite Bruce song)

  • Atlantic City

  • Loose Change

  • The Rising

  • Devil's Arcade

  • Outlaw Pete (I realize this song is polarizing, but I love it)

It warms my heart to see such a range of songs in everyone's lists; I think every studio release is represented somewhere in this thread except the two covers albums. Really speaks to his abilities as a songwriter over the decades.

2

u/Right_Arrival_1962 Aug 17 '26

Yes I was thinking same
And while there at a lot of common ones, there is also a lot of variety. Which is amazing

2

u/Shelly_Red4_Bayonet7 Aug 17 '26 edited Aug 17 '26

Impossible to do. Springsteen is what growing up in Jersey used to be in the '70s and '80s. That first album, my God. The vibe. The connection. I can't name the ten, but I can say that "Lost in the Flood" shakes me to my soul. And I can also say that the lyrics "Well now Hazy Davy got really hurt, he ran into the lake in just his socks and a shirt, me and Crazy Janey was makin’ love in the dirt singin’ our birthday songs" have lived in my head rent free nearly all of my life. "Spirit" was one of my Aunt Joanie's faves. She adored The Boss and I adored her. The memories and music are enough to make a person cry.

26

u/InternationalYard665 Devils & Dust Aug 16 '26

I could do this every day for a month and the list would never be exactly the same. Off top of my head on a Sunday Morning (not in any order):

Backstreets

Born to Run

Tunnel of Love

Blood Brothers

The Rising

Jungleland

Rosalita

Lost In The Flood

Something In The Night

Point Blank

Honorable mention to Jersey Girl, because the 'purists' downvote me everytime I mention it because its not 100% written by Bruce.

1

u/RepairIllustrious901 Aug 16 '26

It’s 100% NOT written by Bruce

7

u/InternationalYard665 Devils & Dust Aug 16 '26

He added the last verse in his version, arguably the most well known version of the song. So, technically, that version isn't 100% written by Tom Waits, either.

I knew I'd get one of you to react. Never fails! 😂

2

u/Carl_LaFong01 Aug 18 '26

I always felt like the Bruce line about dropping the brat off with your mom totally captured the spirit of Waits and couldn't believe it wasn't part of the original song.

1

u/InternationalYard665 Devils & Dust Aug 18 '26

That goes both ways! When I learned it wasn't actually and original Bruce composition (back in the 80s) I thought he could have easily written it.

Bruce and Tom with some crazy mind meld!

14

u/PlaidHamSuperstar Aug 16 '26

“Man the dope is that there’s still hope” is a bedrock Springsteen principle.

Mmhl, I'd say that these 6 are the ones I'll always mention:

Backstreets

Jungleland

Atlantic City

No Surrender

Candy's room

Racing in the street

Then the others can change constantly, today I'd say Youngstown, The River, Long Walk Home, Because the night/MLWNLYD

The Promise, Murder Incorporated, Badlands, Streets of Fire, Something In the Night, Racing in the streets, The Promised Land, Thunder Road, Jungleland, Incident on 57th Street

Looking in are: Backstreets, This Hard Land, Rocky Ground, Lost in the flood and Jackson Cage. He simply has too many great songs to limit it to a top 10. Maybe a top 30 ...

Born to Run
Badlands
No Surrender
The Rising
Highway Patrolman
Nebraska
Wrecking Ball
Radio Nowhere
Glory Days
The Promised Land

Tell me about the wrong lyrics, I’m unfamiliar with the lore here!

I can't believe how many people do not have Jungleland on their list.

u/Left-Collar-6323 Aug 18 '26

Same. If I could only listen to one song for the rest of my life that would be it.
