Best Bruce Springsteen Song
Based on the other best song threads this one is dedicated to The Boss.
i think Thunder Road is the way to go. Sorry if I missed any.

I alternate between "Thunder Road" and "Darkness on the Edge of Town" so I voted other. I'm in a "Darkness" mood these days.

"Darkness on the Edge of Town" is a personal favorite, but it's hard to ignore "Jungleland". Toss up between the two...

i program for radio and make damn sure this gets on as often as possible - the "1,2,3,4" countdown after the bridge is right up there with daltrey's scream in "won't get fooled again" as THE rock and roll moment...my vote, however, went to other... Tougher Than The Rest from Tunnel of Love - had a former girlfriend say that song reminded her of me - that's all i needed to hear.

Out of that list, Born to Run. However, my personal favorite Bruce Springsteen song is Prove it All Night. I'd run away with that song if I could.

From the list, I like "Brilliant Disguise" the best.

"Atlantic City" is a great song, too.

From your list, it's Glory Days but here's my Top 5:
1. Tunnel of Love
2. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town (please don't laugh)
3. Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out
4. Hungry Heart
5. Pink Cadillac

You missed a lot...

"Spirit in the Night" is the one I can always sing along with.

I voted Thunder Road. Highway Patrolman and the River are my other two faves. I love all Bruce though.

"Atlantic City", but I also really like a bunch more (of course).

I think Born to Run is his best, but No Surrender and Brothers Under the Bridges '83 are strong competitors.
