Let's talk Springsteen (musically)
Since The Boss's anti-Bush tour is a hot topic right now, it's thrown me into Bruce Mode. What are some of your favorites? I'll be kicking myself later for stuff I'll foget, but here's what I can think of at the moment.....
Songs: She's The One The River Hungry Heart I'm On Fire Adam Raised A Cain Streets Of Fire Sad Eyes Human Touch Ghost Of Tom Joad If I Should Fall Behind (live w/ E Street Band) The Fuse Back In your Arms Again Empty Sky Tougher Than The Rest Ain't Got You Secret Garden (NOT the version with the Jerry Maguire overdubs...chee-zay!) Streets Of Philadelphia Straight Time Born In The USA (solo acoustic version) Cover Me (live) Two Faces No Surrender (especially live) Thunder Road (any live version) Two Hearts Albums: Darkness On The Edge Of Town Tunnel Of Love The Rising (He also gets a big nod for awesome boxed sets: one of ten years of live performances including rare ones and I like many of the performances even better than the recorded versions, and one of three discs filled entirely with previously unreleased material  )Videos: *I'm On Fire (heartbreakingly cute) *War (could this possibly rock more?!) *Fire (as a Nils Lofgren fan and a lover of Bruce's drama, what more could I ask for?!) *Tougher Than The Rest (this KILLS me. One of my fave songs anyway, and then here's Patti and Bruce both wearing 1988-shiek bolo ties, failing an attmept to act professional onstage as they are falling madly in love. The passion in their eyes is heart-wrenching. Scandalous.) *If I Should Fall Behind (incredible song, and I love seeing all of the band members do their parts...especially Nils and Patti) *Murder Incorporated (love the gritty atmosphere) Personal concert moments: *2002: Getting to see all of those amazing songs from The Rising played live with Bruce's still-incredible energy, and him shocking me by playing Dancing In The Dark (it was awesome!) *1999: Being introduced to If I Should Fall Behind (I was disappointed, though, that Patti had to miss this show for some reason) *1996: Being 16 at a show on the solo acoustic tour and Bruce introducing Red Headed Woman as "a song about cunnilingus"...I was fine, but my Catholic mother was squirming in her chair!  Also getting hear the acoustic version of Born In The USA for the first time.Phew! Anyone else?  Last edited by EveryHour; 08-23-2004 at 11:46 AM..

One word-- Nebraska. That album is definitely on my top ten list of the greatest albums of all time.

Well the obvious hits of course, Tunder Road, Born in The USA, Dancing In The Dark, ect, ect..
But for me it is definetly EVETY SONG of the Rising. The best album of his.

My boyfriend did monitors for Bruce on The Rising Tour. I had never seen him live before and was not even really a fan. Ever since that tour I have been a HUGE fan of Bruce's. The man is the most amazing live performer I have ever seen, by far. And I have never experienced an audience like that...we FM fans are pretty diehard and dedicated....but those Bruce fans really don't hold ANYTHING back...and you know, I never saw one fight break out! It was pretty amazing. I will never forget it!

I've never understood the whole Bruce thing - I don't dislike him - but have only heard his radio stuff....and I used to be a huge Melissa Etheridge fan- and she's a huge Bruce fan...so yeah...my sister loathes and dispises him...I, however, don't really have an opinion...though the duet he did w/M.E. (Thunder Road) on her VH-1 duets was really cool...
