Badlands

Cover Me
Tunnel of Love

And also Fire, but not by him. The version by The Pointer Sisters.

And also Spirit In The Night, but not by him. The Manfred Mann version.

On the Dark Side

Oh wait, that's actually John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band... it just sounds exactly like Springsteen.

That's as close as I get to liking anything by Springsteen.

But Courtney Cox was sure cute in the Dancing in the Dark video.

Lol. I'm not a fan either, but I came up with 5 or 6. And then struggled after that. But I really like the ones that I came up with.

I guess your lead off there can come on the radio without me spinning the tuner knob in a microsecond. Maybe Born to Run as well, even if it is hopelessly clichรฉ.

But if terrorists ever need to get me to talk all they need to is put me in a room and play any other Springsteen song. If they lead with Glory Days or Tunnel of Love, I'll cave even faster. Just don't go with I'm on fire or I'll find a way to kill myself even before I talk!
