In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a run-away American dream

50 Coolest Song...Parts.

#44: The Boss. If we're talking cool parts of Born to Run, it begins and ends with the saxophone at the end of "Thunder Road." Also, it's #1.

Their #1? Phil Collins. I don't think so. At least give it to the Who.

Discussion can continue in comments if you like. Some of you know a LOT more about music than I do.

  1. If not the musical paradise at the end of Thunder Road, at least the intro to Jungleland with its piano lead-in, gentle tale of the Magic Rat and the Barefoot Girl, and explosion into the heart of the song on "Down in Jun-gle-land."

    Also, the intro to Where the Streets Have No Name.

  2. I'm not going to dive headlong into Counting Crows fanboyishness here, but I feel I must give a shout-out to the "woo-woos" on "Sympathy for the Devil".
