[Eccl 10:2]

I was in my early teens when “everybodys got a hungry heart” came out. Even then I thought “now that’s a stupid, silly , pointless song.” And what’s more the singing style sounded cheap and affected. The only thing I liked of his was “blinded by the light” and that was when it was covered by Manfred Mann.

OK, politics aside, and talking about when Springsteen was in his heyday - mid 70’s to early ‘90s.

“Hungry Heart” was easily his worst song on any album from that era. By far. Pure pop, and very far away from who Springsteen really was. Why the record companies chose to push that song, I will never know.

Manfred Mann’s cover of “Blinded By The Light” is easily and far and away the WORST cover of any song by any band ever. You really, REALLY have to be a Neanderthal moron to like that cover, and be utterly oblivious to his message from that time. End of discussion on that.

It is unfortunate that Springsteen turned to the Dark Side. He would have been such a force for good. He sold his soul for earthly treasures. A shame.

You really don't know? Whether anyone likes it or not, it was his first singles to hit the top 5, let alone top 10. (Though covers of his songs by Manfred Mann and the Pointer Sisters had hit #1 and #2)
