    Good call. Since there is hardly a bad Beatles song, I can name at least a dozen others. How about "Two of Us"?

    I used to love her -- Guns n Roses

    Funny and catchy for all the wrong reasons.

    I just had to go find this:

    "Until the Night" and "The Night is Still Young" -- Billy Joel

    I'll pick three from Bruce -- "Shut out the Light," "Zero and Blind Terry" and "Long Time Comin'". As to the last of the three, it's beyond me why Bruce didn't push it as a single. I've never met a Bruce fan who doesn't absolutely love the song and the theme of redemption through the parenthood is universal.

    Would agree with Two of Us. . . but it's a late-period Paul song. A-hole was treating the others as his backup band by then. Jerk.

    When I saw Guns last december, Izzy took the stage for a few songs, including Used to love her. Axl's intro went something like explining how he and Izzy heard a power ballad love song on the radio, and said "what a fuckin' pussy." So they wrote Used to Love Her.

    Good call, but I would rank "Happy" as Bruce's greatest slow dance song.

    Counting Crows have more than one. Personally, I'm a big fan of Murder of One.

    Garden -- Pearl Jam

    When Will They Shoot -- Ice Cube.

    Not Enough Time -- INXS

    Change -- Blind Melon

    Good Boy -- Bare Naked Ladies

    Live - They Stood Up for Love
     
  9. Springsteen's Trapped is his best song that gets the least air-play. Lost in that damn We Are The World album

    Because it's a Bruce cover of a Jimmy Cliff song.. great live..and there's a great live version on Disc 3 of the Essential Springsteen 3 CD set.

    As for the Beatles, one of my old faves is Baby's in Black from Beatles 65
