Might be the force of habit that made me give #1 spot to I'm on Fire cause I have listened to dancing in the dark more recently

Re: Rank the Tracks: Bruce Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A. (1984)
- The first 3 positions are great!
- I think most of my issues with this album have been summed up on the thread about John Mellencamp's "Scarecrow". I can stand a lot of depressive music in other styles, but, in such a distant genre as "heartland rock", I think it's just too much for me.
- I find those synths on Dancing in the Dark so kitsch, I can't understand how this can be one of Bruce's most beloved songs.

03 | Darlington County: good song, a pity the Boss couldn't come with a chorus for it, those "sha-la-la" are awful
06 | I'm on Fire
05 | Downbound Train
08 | Bobby Jean: another good song screwed up by the synths
