Red Mosquito

So my new assistant dean is a huge springsteen fan but doesn't know pearl jam. She's about 10 years older, so she really came of age in the 80s. I'm going to make her a mix. What should be on it.

All 47 Springsteen covers that Ed does now.

Just Breathe
Future Days
The Fixer
Unemployable
Life Wasted
Worldwide Suicide
Lightning Bolt
Sirens
Come Back
Supersonic
Mind Your Manners
Let The Records Play
Force of Nature
Infallible
Gone

But the demo version.

if she's into springsteen, i'd say let her rot in her hell of low standards and don't bother making the mix

Just give them a copy of Lightning Bolt

Nice list - I'd add the song Lightning Bolt to that too, it has a 'Born To Run' kind of feel to it.

That is a good list. I'll probably throw Lbolt on instead of light years, and Betterman instead of Nothingman.

Bruce has a song called nothing man too. She must have heard better man. And LB is awful.

Dock of the Bay cover

1. Small Town
2. RVM

That's a good list too. I had MOTH and AR on my initial list.

I was just trying to do a riff on your list. But yours had Corduroy and Daughter, so yours wins.

Give them this.

Great list. Same with you LMS. I will add Breakerfall. Totally has an E Street band fall vibe.

All of this Bruce hate.

1. Corduroy
2. Getaway
3. Given To Fly
4. Immortality
5. Smile
6. Black
7. Sirens
8. I Am Mine
9. Swallowed Whole
10. Dissident
11. Red Mosquito
12. Betterman
13. Alive
14. Hard Sun
15. Yellow Ledbetter

Something like that. Or give her a disc of mellow ones, and then rockers on another.

Do you have access to recording software? If you can add the word "mister" to every single song, it'll really help with your chances.

I Am Mister's would be a great start I think.
