Terrific series
Bobby and his guests offer fascinating insights into the greatest Bruce songs. Well worth subscribing.
Tons of Trivia
A celebration of Bruce with tons of behind-the-scenes insights and trivia about The Boss. Looking forward to the rest and maybe hearing a bit more about how these rankings were determined. Have a good one!
Dig it
Really solid podcast, love listening to in depth descriptions/conversations about these great songs. Wish Bobby would give reasons why songs are ranked where they are(how Hungry Heart managed to stay outside the top 10)
