This is going to be the hardest album for me, I do believe. My favorite Springsteen song, period, is "I'm On Fire" so I have high hopes of that going through, as for the rest of it, the only songs I don't want going through are "Bobby Jean" and "No Surrender".

 

[2861U2]

Working on the Highway.

 

[phanan]

No Surrender is one of the best songs on here.

Cover Me is easily the worst here.

My top four choices would be:

Born In The U.S.A.
Downbound Train
I'm On Fire
No Surrender

So that means, if I'm lucky, I'll have half advance.

 

[martha]

I'm Goin' Down.

No other album will be as hard as that last one.

 

[bono_212]

Wow. 5 votes 5 songs. BITUSA is going to be interesting.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

five way tie?

 

[bono_212]

five way tie?

 

[LemonMelon]

Top four:

1. I'm On Fire
2. Born In The USA
3. Downbound Train
4. No Surrender

Glory Days is my least favorite, but I don't want to waste my vote on it. Double/triple elimination would be better.

 

[intedomine]

I'm On Fire is one of the greatest songs ever written

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

This is my top four from the album and it's a VERY strong top four for me...these are 4 of my absolute favorite Boss Springsteen tracks:

1. Darlington County
2. No Surrender
3. Downbound Train
4. Dancing In The Dark

Also, I must say, I love everything on this album. It's my 3rd favorite Boss album, and it means a lot to me and I will always love it.

I'll be voting for the title track until it's gone.

 

[corianderstem]

I'm goin' down down down down
I'm goin' down down DOWN down

zzzzz

 

[martha]

Who voted for Downbound Train?

 

[Bono's shades]

I'm Goin' Down is goin' down.

 

[achtung_girl]

I'm Goin' Down.

No other album will be as hard as that last one.

 

[cobl04]

ooh! i know this album!

easy vote, my hometown, irrepressibly boring and dull song.

dancing in the dark, i'm on fire, born in the usa, and then any one of no surrender, bobby jean, downbound train.

not really a big fan of this album, it's very american, and i don't like a number of songs.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

not really a big fan of this album, it's very american

funny, that's also why i don't care for it

another reason for me is since i grew up on this album, i've heard everything waaaay too much. it all sounds so dated, and usually for me that's a good thing. the title track makes me want to gag, since it being misused so many times has kind of ruined the true meaning of the song for me.

 

[cobl04]

yeah i can understand that. but i still dig that song.

glory days, however, is a good example of not a very good song being overplayed for 20, 30 years and now being atrocious

they play i'm on the fire all the time though, and i still love it.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

oh yes glory days, that's another one.

i also agree with i'm on fire, that's a good one.
