As a fan of a wide variety of popular (and not-so-popular) music from the 1950s (and sometimes even earlier) up through the present, one of my bucket list projects for years has been to put together a list of my 100 favorite songs of all time. At some point I decided that, once I got around to figuring that out, I could put it out on a blog, for the infinitesimally small proportion of the Internet world that might be interested. So, here we are. While the Top 100 will be a major focus, I also plan to post on a variety of other musical (and occasionally non-musical) topics, in which you may or may not be interested. (If a particular posting doesn’t ring your bell, you’re only a few clicks away from a dancing cat video on YouTube.)

LP #5 Bruce Springsteen – Born To Run (1975)


There certainly was never any doubt that a Springsteen album was going to be high on this list. There was a lot of doubt, however, about whether it would be this one, or the previous The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle.
 
Let’s see: “Thunder Road” and “Jungleland” vs. “Rosalita (Come Out Tonight)” and “4th Of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)”. “Born To Run” or “Kitty’s Back”. It was a close call, but as someone said recently, sometimes you gotta make the hard choices.
 
Favorite tracks:
Thunder Road
Jungleland
