306. Other than the fact it sounds like The Fixx for the first 30 seconds, I kinda like "Soul Driver" from Human Touch. It's ranked #285.
Here's to our destruction.

307. Bruce reminisces about his big date with Carol, the innocent joys of summer and the rockin' sounds of James Young and the Immortal Ones in "County Fair," which was a Born in the USA leftover. Sounds like a County Fair, doesn't it? Ranked a lofty #62

308.
Man at the top says it’s lonely up there
If it is, man, I don’t care
Second day in a row with a Born in the USA leftover, this one a sweet, soulful rumination on ambition that ironically is left off a billion selling album and not released as a single. Nice background vocals. "Man at the Top" is ranked #94

Re: Springsteen
Bruce posts a note on social media to Freehold, N.J. native Joseph DePugh, 75.
“Just a moment to mark the passing of Freehold native and ballplayer Joe DePugh, He was a good friend when I needed one.
He could throw that speedball by you, make you look like a fool. Glory days, my friend."
They played some ball together as youngsters and apparently actually did run into each other "walking in/walking out" of a bar
(in Neptune, NJ 1973) before going back in for drinks and reminiscences, all of which got turned into the song's origin.

309. Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers!
"I Wanna Be With You" sounds a lot like "Change of Heart" to me even if Bruce did this one before TP did his, while working on Darkness. Apparently it was inspired by the Raspberries who also had a song called "I Wanna Be With You."
Ranked #85

Re: Springsteen
Good news/bad news:
Springsteen will soon be releasing a “Lost Albums” box set consisting of 7 discs worth of material he recorded between the mid-80s and 2000s.
Not sure if we have a ruling from the judges yet as to whether Lunchbucket will be obligated to continue this thread for an additional several months as a result.

Oh shit. I'm nearing the 1 year mark on this and was looking forward to getting those 15 minutes a day back.

310. "When You Need Me" is one of the Bossman's most straight-head love songs, although it may be written from the perspective of the dumped. Recorded and not used for Tunnel of Love and ranked #276
Details coming on the big release. I think my strategy may be to take it in first then return to this thread. Only 30 songs left to go!
