This last week we asked what was the best title track from a Bruce album. In the introduction post I asked if there was a connection between what is usually considered the best albums and the title trakcs. The answer is a big resounding "yes!". The albums that usually occupy the first three spots in best album polls, Born to Run, Darkness and The River, also have the three best title tracks according to you. For "Born to Run" there really was no competition. It received almost 50% of all the votes cast. "Darkness on the Edge of Town" and "The River" came in second and third, but with only 15% and 12% of the votes respectively.

The biggest surprise as I see it is that "Nebraska" ended up second to last with only eight votes. Nebraska usually fares pretty well in "best album" polls and won the best non-E Street Band album poll a while back. But that wasn't enough to beat songs like "Human Touch" and "Working on a Dream" from far less popular albums. Of course, that doesn't mean "Nebraska" would lose to those songs in a head to head contest with those songs, but it's still interesting.

The complete result looks like this:

Born to Run 47.9%
Darkness on the Edge of Town 15.1%
The River 12.6%
The Rising 4.1%
Tunnel of Love 3.8%
The E Street Shuffle 3.2%
The Ghost of Tom Joad 2.4%
Working on a Dream 2.2%
Magic 1.7%
Human Touch 1.7%
Born in the USA 1.6%
Lucky Town 1.4%
Nebraska 1.3%
Devils & Dust 1.0%

This coming week's poll, I must say, also has Born to Run as the clear favorite. Which album has the best cover? For space reasons I've had to limit it to studio albums, but it should still be interesting to see the result. And again, will the result reflect how popular the music on the albums is? Let the voting begin!
