10
jungle land
opening with a memorable violin and
piano intro this fan and critic favorite
is the nine and a half minute closer to
Bruce Springsteen’s third effort
featuring an unforgettable clarence
clemons sax solo
and one of the finest examples of the
singer-songwriters narrative technique
jungle land takes us on a musical and
emotional journey that’s truly epic
number nine dancing in the dark
then I
while it might be the track that’s least
representative of his extremely varied
work dancing in the dark is still the
boss’s biggest hit with its lively
synthesizer riffs and offbeat rhythm
this power pop and rock number hit the
Billboard Hot 100 second spot and helped
its parent album become his best-selling
record ever
who can forget his smooth dance moves in
the accompanying music video
number eight 10th Avenue freezer and job
sama city bad school desertion for his
crew though the jury’s still out on the
meaning of this song’s title what is
known is that the second track off Born
to Run is the musical equivalent to a
biography of the E Street Band Oh
led by Clemens on the sax 10th Avenue
freeze-out combines horns and a piano
driven rhythm
tell us the tale of Springsteen as big
scooter searching for his groove
the rocking number is also often played
live
number seven born in the USA
first
thanks to its rousing chorus the title
track – born in the USA with
Springsteen’s third top-ten American
single from his seventh studio album
with its memorable synthesizer riff and
blasting drums no it’s also one of the
artists most well known tracks
but it’s born in the USA’s Heartland
rock style and socio-political lyrics
that deal with the downside of the
Vietnam War that really make it a
Springsteen classic
number six back streets
the first minute of this six and a half
minute number of born to run is made up
of an instrumental piano and organ
section
it’s the perfect introduction to this
song of love so hard and filled with the
feet which Springsteen makes all the
more poignant with his passionate vocals
and storytelling prowess
but nothing makes backstreets truly come
alive more than experiencing it in
concert with the extra piano and vocal
solo called the sad eyes injury
number five the river I come down in the
valley where mr. when you inspired by
his sister and her husband’s economic
difficulties as a young couple
Springsteen crafted this sad but
powerful song that appeared on the album
of the same name
that was all
while it wasn’t released as a single in
the US the river quickly found a home on
rock radio with its folk rock flavors
and spring schemes harmonica playing
this moving tune about dreams versus
reality is often modified or extended
while played live
the river is dry
this number for Atlantic City
see what the MARAC boys can do this folk
rock track off Nebraska follows the same
dark vein as the rest of the album
just for short minutes
Springsteen brings us into the world of
a young couple tackling issues of human
mortality and organized crime in the New
Jersey City
the honest and thought-provoking tune is
another live stunner and has been
covered by multiple artists
number three badlands
with its unforgettable drum intro and
anthemic nature badlands is a hard
rockin tune that simply meant to be
played in concert
during a piano and electric guitar riff
borrow from the animals Max Weinberg’s
energetic drumming and so much more
tract showcases Springsteen and the E
Street Band at their finest
despite only charting within the
Billboard top 50 it continues to be a
fan and band favorite
nobody wins list everybody one number
two born to run
this first person love letter and title
cut to Springsteen’s third record
epitomized Heartland rock to a tee
you

Springsteen signature tune and a live
staple just take a listen for yourself

the sellers gone but the times two
in the street
number one Thunder Road screen door
slams Mary’s dress waves they couldn’t
have chosen a better track to be the
opener of the boss’s breakthrough record
as the radio dreams mixing folk and rock
with blue-collar themes Thunder Road
slowly brings you in with piano and
harmonica to trade in these wings on
some but it Springsteen’s vocals the
songs mounting pace and masterful
blending of multiple instruments that
