VHM Travolta & Winger in Urban Cowboy. If only we'd gotten *anything* else from the sndtk besides Joe Walsh's "All Nite Long"

BOS2 "I'm Losing You" -- any John that's not "Starting Over" usually makes my day.

And with that I'll bail for a lengthy meeting; I'll miss Dave's "classic" too.  Have fun, all!

Most depressing of set: "The River."
“The choir of children sing their song.  They've practiced all year long.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.  Ding dong.”

I see where you're coming from, but I still love this song. Among Bruce's 5 best (don't ask what the other four are--at least not right now). BOS here.

BOS2 Elvis, Opportunity. Could be an across-the-board bustout.
Let's get right to it.

Oh, I love it too - it's just a difficult listen sometimes.

I'm not sure about mine either.  Except that "Candy's Room" is in there, maybe "Growin' Up," and the list is topped by "Cover Me."  Something about Bruce in the vulnerable, submissive role is incredibly sexy to me.  It's a perspective I never heard him take in song before or since.  (Vulnerable, yes.  Power-relinquishing, no.)
