re: Which Springsteen Song is Better?

Springsteen was always better when he was using a variety of instruments during a song. Thunder Road utilizes piano, guitar, harmonica, and sax.

Honestly Born in the USA sounds like a John Mellencamp song.
I take it you have never listened to lonesome jubilee. Wide variety of instruments used. Wouldn't call it my favorite but it does exist.
As to other posts and the lyrics argument, i am aware that the song is much more than the chorus and it is not pro america. I like the song because it goes beyond what your average vietnam documentary would do. Song tells why he wound up over there and more importantly, what happened when he got home. He fails to get a job, thanks to hate for vietnam vets as well as government policies that have been having a negative impact on manufacturing since the 70s that can be witnessed first hand via driving through most American cities East of the Mississippi.
He gets sent over seas, loses his brother, comes home and the nightmare continues, thanks in part to the same people that started the war. I'm sure many would agree we have problems today, and thus the sad part is the song is still relavent over 30 years later and people still think it is just some classic rock hit and ignore everything outside the chorus.
Anyway, because of its message, I consider it more meaningful than thunder road, and thus prefer it.
You can like thunder road I don't care. Everyone has their favorites, but don't hate on born in the USA just because there is some synthesizers played during it

And it was written by a guy that pissed his pants and then headed to Canada to avoid the draft. What does "The Boss" know about Vietnam?
