"Born to Run" was probably his most commercial song (but not best, by a long shot), so I'm not sure what BR's on about. This album for instance may well be his best. |

Has had ups and downs but not denying his musical talent and love to entertain. Likewise saw him in the 80's and recently and he is an outstanding performer. And always a wonderful artist. I'll always appreciate Bruce. |

One of the best relationship albums/cd ever recorded.
Front to back , BS takes you on a journey of love found, love blossoms, love troubles, love lost, love recovery.

There are only two BS songs I like. This one (9) and Tunnel of Love (10). The rest? Pffft. Really, what's the BFD?

Like Bruce or hate him, I think you have to admit this is a masterstroke of songwriting.

I was gonna say that this sounds like filler to me, but then again I'm not much of a Bruce fan. However there are some tracks from this album that I do like. It's amazing to me what a following Springsteen has considering that his style is so non melodic and gruff. That being said, if that style was a deal breaker then Tom Waits and Dylan would all be unheard of.

I have never been a big fan of Mr. Springsteen. However, this song will always take me back to the fall of 1987 and those first few dates with the woman who would eventually become my wife.

Good Lord, I am not a huge Springsteen fan especially post 70s but that is a bit of a stretch!  |

I think you got that backwards, Sparky. Sure, Chris is OK at aping the sound of other, more talented artists, such as Bruce, but he's no original. |

Says the person who rated "She blinded me with science" a 9. To each his own, I guess. |

Bill never plays Springsteen.
Best album of the 80s and the best relationship album
ever!

I don't understand the hate for this song. I like it. I think the lyrics are nicely done and the tune is catchy. Maybe not the most edgy Springsteen out there, but still enjoyable to me.

This album is so unique for the Boss. I honestly feel its his best work ever. I listen to this one top to bottom far more than is more famous works like Darkness. Its almost a shame it was so commercially successful, which so often is the only reason it draws out the haters.

Kitschy pop not worthy of the Boss, or RP.
