Connor, I am glad that you have chosen the path of righteousness and four of those five I'm in full agreement with; but 'The Only One'? It's one of the few tunes on Chutzpah that I tend to skip....anyway, one man's meat etc, as someone's already said.

However, it can't be denied that 'Born To Run' (the track and indeed most of the album) is a work of genius (or according to the Boss, mostly sheer hard work...).

Elvis Costello - Alison-Shipbuilding

Xtc -Love on a farm boys wages-senses working overtime

Lloyd Cole - Lost weekend

Squeeze -Labelled with love-Tempted

Stones -Beast of burden

The Band -Helpless - the night they drove old Dixie down

Hank Williams - I'm so lonesome I could cry

I'm going through an Elvis Costello period and Shipbuilding is just amazing, although the the Robert Wyatt cover possibly surpasses the original. My other favourite is Watching the Detectives.
