Back in September, someone from the Backstreets (BTX) community decided to put together a list of the top twenty Bruce Springsteen songs of all time, as voted by the members. This has not been done before. Over a thousand fans ranked their twenty most favorite songs, until the deadline last week. Thirty countries are represented, and as expected, I was the only one from Singapore who actually gave a damn and participated (members had to state where they were from or else they'd be disqualified). Here are the final results:
1. Thunder Road
2. Jungleland
3. Backstreets
4. Born To Run
5. Incident On 57th Street
6. Racing In The Street
7. Badlands
8. The River
9. The Promised Land
10. Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)
11. Darkness On The Edge Of Town
12. Land Of Hope And Dreams
13. Prove It All Night
14. Drive All Night
15. Lost In The Flood
16. New York City Serenade
17. Atlantic City
18. No Surrender
19. Long Walk Home
20. 4th Of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)
I'm surprised there are no songs from the Tunnel Of Love, or even The Rising albums. I'm also surprised songs like Drive All Night, Lost In The Flood and New York City Serenade made the list. And it's good to know that most fans rank Long Walk Home as one of their favorites too.
And here's my own top twenty:
1. Thunder Road
2. Jungleland
3. Born To Run
4. Backstreets
5. Racing In The Street
6. 4th Of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)
7. Darkness On The Edge Of Town
8. Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)
9. The Promised Land
10. Long Walk Home
11. Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out
12. Land Of Hope And Dreams
13. My City Of Ruins
14. Downbound Train
15. The Promise
16. One Step Up
17. Streets Of Fire
18. Atlantic City
19. The Price You Pay
