Celebrating Springsteen’s birthday: 65 Bruce songs
Other than maybe Frank Sinatra, no one single musician exemplifies the spirit and essence of New Jersey quite like Bruce Springsteen. The Boss's songs are the soundtrack to various memories for New Jerseyans growing up in the same time period. Bruce's music is legendary and his library provides quite the variation for all types of fans. From Bruce's early "street smarts" sound, to the stadium classics from "Born in the USA" to even a more softer folk and political sound from more recent years, Bruce's music offers something for almost every music enthusiast. The 'working man's musician' turns 65 today and to celebrate his music library I've put together Bruce's top 65 songs of all time.
