Yep.
It's a flawless song.
I see one flaw.. it's too short.. it needs another verse.. it's about a minute/minute and a half longer and it's his best work.. the live 75 85 version is great because the end is extended a little

Not quite. The leaving you wanting more works perfectly as it puts you in the same space as the singer. By giving you less he creates the desire in the listener.

It's a pretty perfect pop song.

It truly is a magical piece of music and one that I've always "known" (my parents were always playing Springsteen when I was growing up) so I don't have any memory of when I first heard it. But man, I am jealous of people who get to hear this song for their first time.

So I choose Thunder Road, for which I believe is the best song he's written.
God damnit. One of my faves.
Great song. I was tossing up between this and 'Streets'.

'Streets of Philadelphia' was a song that I really disliked when I first heard it, but I can't say exactly why. It stands alone though as the one song that I continue to like more and more every time I hear it, so much that now I consider it to be amongst his best 5 songs.

Fifteen great songs so far. Tremor has two picks and then 6 HR clock starts. Anyone wanting to PM me a pick can do.

Ah HURRY UP TREMOR.

Yeah. I don't like this development.

So, if your 6 hours starts at 11pm and goes thru 5am and you're asleep, you're just fucked out of a pick?
