Rank the Tracks: Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run (1975)

Post by babydoll »

Running right into the album... with a cover I found that I really liked.

Born to Run (1975) tracklisting:
01 | Thunder Road
02 | Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out
03 | Night
04 | Backstreets
05 | Born to Run
06 | She's the One
07 | Meeting Across the River
08 | Jungleland

Can you do with or without the streets that have no name?

It hurts to put "Jungleland" at #3 "only" being the pinnacle of both Roy Bittan and Clarence Clemons. But I guess the songs at #1 and #2 are simply unebeatable to me. But, please, do yourself a favour and click on the first link. Or better on both!

My favorite of his '70s albums. Though some of the tracks are practically negligible compared to picks #1 and 2.

1. Thunder Road - Exciting track that builds on itself as it goes on.
2. Born To Run - The perfect single for the album. Anthemic and grand
3. Meeting Across The River - Underrated track that slows down the album's pace. Nice arpeggiation on the piano.
4. Jungleland - A little cheesy, the reason why this song is so famous is because of the instrumental interlude which is great.
5. Night - Okay track, just a lesser version of born to run.
6. Tenth Ave Freeze Out - Weirdly enough named after a Bob Dylan demo.
7. Backstreets - Ripoff of 'Positively Fourth Street' by Dylan. Too long.
8. She's The One - Dumb, Bo Diddley beat song.
