That's fair - Darkness seems to be a little polarizing among fans, but I think "Racing in the Street" has gotta be in his all-time top 5 songs. Much as I love BTR, I can think of songs I'd cut from it; Darkness has none for me.

Racing in the Street is great, but the '78 version from the Promise is way, way, way better than the Darkness version.

Also, Born to Run only has 8 songs. Seems rather silly to cut a song(s) from such a short album.

I agree with that, but it's still a great song in both versions.

True enough - I just think he probably had songs that were better than "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out", for example, great as it is live.

I thoroughly enjoy Tenth Avenue, so I'm not with you about that.
