I think the top 20 are ******* rad to be honest. Majority would feature in most people's top 20 too I reckon.
Please share your top 20 if you can be bothered?I could find many songs in your top 50 that would be in the top 20 without argument. That's the greatness of Springsteen.
Born to Run greatest album ever. And sorry to disagree but Born to Run greatest song of all time.
But they're all just our opinions in the end.
Has been a wonderful ride. Thank you for taking the time Cruyff14

What surprised you? What made you roll your eyes? What would you not have in the list (overall)?
Agree on greatest album ever.
I think Jungleland is his best song.
If I did this again today the order will be different. It got to the point where I just said * it, if I did it again, the song would be roughly in the same place or thereabouts etc.Give me a bit of time to have a think. And I will admit I'm not good at these because I change my mind from day to day as well as liking so many songs equally.
Don't get me wrong either, I wasn't criticising your top 20. More that if you had some songs well outside the top 20 in it, I would still agree.
I wouldn't have rolled my eyes, just thought I need to listen to that song more.
Absolutely love your top 3.
Backstreets is one of my all time favourite songs. Jon Bon Jovi agrees with me. Not sure it's good that I know that

Oh, I know. It was more me expressing myself as saying, where would you place that song etc.
Haha.
Flood is a masterpiece. That and Tunnel were my two favourite write ups.
The song is a piece of perfection. Its power is overwhelming, and the imagery is incredible. Like I said, I feel like I'm hiding behind a dumpster watching this street fight unfold.Jimmy the Saint, oh yeah!
He leans on the hood telling racing stories, the kids call him Jimmy the Saint
Well, that blaze-and-noise boy, he's gunnin' that bitch loaded to blastin' point
He rides head first into a hurricane and disappears into a point
And there's nothin' left but some blood where the body fell, that is, nothin' left that you could sell
Just junk all across the horizon, a real highwayman's farewell
I shiver when I hear that lyric
I love Darlington County, for what I assume was a bit of a throw away song it's a ripper. Our pa's each own one of the World Trade Centres. For a kiss and a smile I'll give mine all to you. It's the tale of a couple of bullshit artists on a bender. Extremely relatable.I really like Darlington County, Dancing in the Dark and Glory Days.
I can't decide if they're great songs or great FM radio songs (which was Bruce's aim for a mega hit album).
They were on my list of 35 that I chose my top 20 from. I know the lyrics to them all lol.

I assume you mean American Land, not American Land of Hope and Dreams.I listened to Wrecking Ball again yesterday and remembered how much I enjoy Death To My Hometown and American Dream.
Death To My Hometown is such a visceral slap in the face to rich and fat bankers and the destruction they wrought in the global financial crisis.
American Dream is such a jaunty Celtic-sounding song of hope for the immigrants. It is to me Wrecking Ball's Cadillac Ranch in the way its bouncing joy pulls you in.
Also a fan of Shackled and Drawn and Michelle Moore's rap in Rocky Ground.
