The Huffington Post has printed a list of the Top 25 Bruce Springsteen songs, as conceived by Ben Mankiewicz, a host at Turner Home Movies.

We give him props for thinking outside the box and selecting songs off Magic, The Seeger Sessions, Lucky Town and Tracks. And we recognize that he’s not really trying to be an authoritative voice: “The criteria are flexible. They’re a combination of songwriting, listening pleasure, live performance and at what point in the song I begin to cry like an 11-year-old girl.”
