- Far Out ranked the songs; Springsteen did not.

## Summary

Bruce Springsteen named five of his own songs as favourites during a 2016 interview with Stephen Colbert. Far Out later ranked the selections, turning Springsteen’s off-the-cuff choices into a list that offers a glimpse of which songs he values most.

Springsteen’s picks were “Born to Run”, “The Rising”, “Thunder Road”, “Nebraska” and “Racing in the Street”. He described “The Rising” as a significant song, while Colbert prompted him to settle on “Racing in the Street” for the final place; the article says Springsteen did not rank the songs himself. It also notes that “The Rising”, written in the aftermath of the 11 September attacks, won a Grammy for Best Rock Song.
