No way not none of you Fabsters don't love at least one song of Bruce Springsteen's.
I'm surprised sometimes to hear it blasting from a car radio or some younger folks belting out his lyrics, but he's called the Boss for a reason.
So what's your favourite? I think I'm gonna have to go with Jungleland! |

the river
fantastic lyrics
then i got Mary pregnant
and man that's all she wrote
and for my nineteenth birthday
i got a union card and a wedding coat
we went down to the courthouse
and the judge put it all to rest
no wedding day smiles or walk down the aisles
no flowers no wedding dress.

"is a dream a lie if it dont come true or is it something worse" best lines in the River but not sure how you could pick just one song from his back catalog

"I'm not a massive fan but I do like his version of Old Dan Tucker. "
The Ballad Of Jessie James and John Henry from the Live In Dublin concert are superb |

The Seeger Sessions is a great album. I'm not really a fan but I live this style of music. |

The river, its melancholic yet powerful and is him at his best when he first wrote and performed it. |

Huge fan and seen him many times, the best being on his home turf at the Giants Stadium in New Jersey.
Born to Run the live version has always been my favourite song, followed by Jungeland - again the live version |

The version of 'Lost in the Flood', on the Hammersmith Odeon DVD is possibly the greatest thing ever! Closely followed by everything else on that DVD
To think he hated it until he re-visited it 30 years later and realised how fucking awesome it was!

Our PE teacher took us on a school trip to see him at the NEC on 'The River' tour in 1981!
He also took us on trips to see The Who, Tom Petty, Rainbow and Thin Lizzy as well..a bit different to Twycross Zoo and Trentham Gardens!! |

"Darkness on the edge of town............a great but mysterious song !"
Darkness on the Edge of Town is one of his best, definitely. The song kind of upsets me because of the lyrics but I love it regardless.
Besides, Spirit in the Night makes me feel better every time! |

"The whole Nebraska album....one of the few things I can thank my ex-wife for.
Bruce playing acoustic...not a bad track on the album."
I have it but it's not one of my favourites. Nebraska the song is my favourite on it but my album of choice would be Born to Run |
