Some on this chart are laughable though. Truely laughable! The great thing about Springsteen songs is that everyone has a different opinion as to which are better than which.

Born To Run? Ask any hardcore Springsteen fan if they feel it's his best song. Incident @ 3 is justified though it's my personal favorite.

I just like to say thanks for a wonderful list. Of course if every Boss fan was asked for their top 200, we'd have a different list for every fan. But this is the sign of a truly great Rock star. Credit to Bruce for the sheer quality and quantity spanning nearly 40 years. Fantastic. Hi. I just like to say thanks for a wonderful list.

I don't think its a stretch to say... "How in the world does Stolen Car make the top 20??" Just sayin... C'mon, Please, Racing In the Street, Prove It All Night, No Surrender?? Any of which could have taken that songs place...

A TRUE SPRINGSTEEN FAN ENJOYS ALL OF BRUCE'S WORK AND DOES NOT JUDGE OR PLACE 1 SONG ABOVE OR BELOW THE OTHER. THE SAME GOES WITH ALL HIS TOURS, ALL HAVE BEEN FANTASTIC, NONE BETTER OR WORSE (IF YOU'RE A REAL FAN) THAN THE OTHER. ONLY MY OPINION, I HOPE BRUCE CONTINUES TO PREFORM FOR YEARS, AT LEAST 1 OR 2 MORE TOURS WITH E-STREET OR SOLO!

I must take issue with one HUGE omission though. Land Of Hope And Dreams not only should have been included but somewhere near the top. It is one of the great live songs. Musically powerful and lyrically includes everything Springsteen is about. The redemption of Everyman, a better life , chains broken, debts paid etc. Great effort…really enjoyed your thoughts.
