Best Springsteen 70s songs (NOT Born To Run)
I'm thinking of giving Springsteen another chance. What are the his best songs from the 70s. NO Born to Run.
Not everybody is on MetalShit.com and Blabberface fuckin’ dot net! Who cares? There’s such a small amount of people that do that. - Blotz

Not aware of any. He has several ok tunes in his catalog. Not sure when they’re from.

Re: Best Springsteen 70s songs (NOT Born To Run)
The entire Born to Run album is a masterpiece!
Darkness is awesome. It’s angry Bruce.
The River is technically 1980 but written and probably recorded in the 70’s.
All 3 are essential.
Then dive into The Promise and Tracks box sets for amazing songs like Loose Ends and Linda Let Me Be the One that he didn’t put on those records.
The River box set is cool too but repeats a lot of the songs already on Tracks.

Totally overrated "artist", with most of his catalog falling under the category of: meandering, self indulgent, Jack-fest.

Spirits in the Night for sure. The Manfred Mann version though...

Re: Best Springsteen 70s songs (NOT Born To Run)
Do you have spotify? There's live stuff from 78 and 75, both absolutely mindbogglingly good.
Some of my favourites with nice guitar action:
Saint in the City 1975: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjVh89sHDnI
Prove it all night 1978: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dfi2z-81fTQ
Because the night 1978: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Evp0MrJ9lk
Lost in the flood 1975: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s79tVdT2jUs
This however, is the real true answer:

Great list. I'd start with the following:
Adam Raised A Cain
Lost In The Flood
Growin Up
I'd say just start with the first album, Greetings From Asbury Park, lots of great 70's Bruce there.
