I recently saw him in concert...his new songs are great!  My favorite one from his classic stuff though, is "Don't Talk To Strangers" followed closely by an obscure one from 1976 called "Jessica"

I voted for Human Touch...I think its even more relevant in today's world.

I couldn't agree with you more, rubixgirl ;)

"Don't Talk To Strangers"  :)
Now HOW did I know you'd pick that one, Karen ;D

Don't talk to strangers followed by Celebrate Youth (which isn't on the list).

There wasn't enough room...I love all his stuff!

My vote was for "Don't Talk to Stangers", but it was a hard choice.  Rick is going to be in concert near me on April 28, unfortunately, I can't go  :( 

I still have never been able to see him live.

Yes I voted for that one too, Rubixgirl. There are a few close seconds but that one steals it.

'Everybody's talking to computers, they're all dancing to a drum machine . . .'

If that isn't a premonition, I don't know what is.  :D

I know how you feel....I was supposed to see him at Red Rocks (Denver) back in August of 1984...but my girlfriend and I split up and she took another guy :P  Seeing him was really a treat....I wish you could go :'(

Wow! It looks like most people agree with me, "Don't Talk to Strangers," I thought fer sher "Jesse's Girl" would be the hands-down winner.

Jesse's Girl

Wow! It looks like most people agree with me, "Don't Talk to Strangers," I thought fer sher "Jesse's Girl" would be the hands-down winner.
So did I, but I just don't like it nearly as much as "Don't Talk To Strangers :)

Since there wasn't an "all of the above" (with a side of Rick to go, please ;)) selection, I had to pick Don't Walk Away.

The only one I like is 'Speak To The Sky' but that's 70's...

Jessie's Girl...an all time favorite!

Other - My fave tune and video is "Celebrate Youth". All his tunes are good though.

I'm going for Jessies Girl cos a lover many years ago told me he considered that 'our song'.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Mark, I know you will understand when I say "Pass"  ;)

Mark, all ya had to do was include his best work from the 60's with the Zoot, and I woulda been in there  ;D

Sorry Luke, I never really heard much of them :-\

I really like his new stuff, too.  I saw him a couple of years ago in Vegas doing the "EFX" show.  He's still got it!  (and has aged VERY well, I might add.  :))

And I picked "Affair of the Heart".  Tough decision, but that's always been one of my favorites.

Hey Koop, I was fortunate enough to see him a few months ago in Denver...the new CD is really great and he put on a fantastic show :)

Sorry Luke, I never really heard much of them :-\


Ooh !  You have missed out BIG TIME !

They did a metal remake of "Eleanor Rigby", plus another great song called "One Times, Two Times, Three Times, Four"

Refer to BMG's post # 22 for a pic  :D

Only thing I like about Rick is that I'd like to punch him. Guess it's not his fault but he looked like my little sister's x-boy friend who was a punk.  I do like Don't talk to strangers, but when I hear Jesse's girl, I turn into Dr. Jekyll >:(

I liked "Affair Of The Heart" best.

Don't talk to strangers

Don't Talk To Strangers

I saw in him concert on the beach a few years back & he was surprisingly REEEALLY good.

"Don't walk away" gets my vote, takes me back to my senior trip in 1984. Incidently, it was the first song I downloaded from Itunes.

I chose Don't Talk to Strangers.

Wow! It looks like most people agree with me, "Don't Talk to Strangers," I thought fer sher "Jesse's Girl" would be the hands-down winner.


Probably because at least around here Jessies Girl is constantly overplayed to this day.  I never hear any of his other songs on the radio.  Also my fav is Dont Talk To Strangers.

Now if I could just convince these damn Clear Channel stations around here of that >:(

Affair of the Heart :)

"Jesse's Girl" and "Don't Talk to Strangers"

Affair of the Heart :)
I'm suprised this slipped by you but thanks for voting, lebeiw15 ;)

"Human Touch"

It's the "Other" guy again!

Another fave, and a hard choice, but,

The Great Lost Art Of Conversation 


With Souls, What Kind Of Fool Am I, and I Get Excited very close behind.

Don't Talk To Strangers

Don't Talk To Strangers. I believe it was on HBO video jukebox so the video always reminds me of the summer of '82. The feeling I had of going to the junior high was frightening!!!!

Other - Love Somebody

Jessie's Girl. Ahh, my babysitter watched General Hospital in the early 80's and I would catch glimpses of him and go "yummy".

I saw him in concert back in 1984. It was my first concert too!

Man, I used to love Rick... I would run home after school to catch the end of General Hospital just to see him.

I pick "Celebrate Youth"; followed by "Jessie's Girl" and "Souls".

"My Father's Chair"

Seeing that the only single of his I own is his single "Bruce", then I have to go with that. Does anyone else remember this gem? He wrote it out of frustration from people getting him mixed up with Bruce Springsteen. Here are the lyrics:

Doctor, doctor you gotta help me yeah
You gotta make it right for me
It seems this other man's name has been following me around
And it just won't let me be
You see i got this name and he's got this name too know
Well they're kinda close only a blind crazy fool
Would think i was him it's like saying green is blue
But let me tell you brother it started being a bother
When he made the cover of time magazine

I was at this party in the wild-hilled hills
Just the other night
Her name was shelly i introduced myself
She just smiled and said "all right"
Well we got talkin' and drinkin' wine
And she said she liked my music thought it was fine
She said, "let's make love, your place or mine"
And in the middle of the passion i was on the borderline
When she called out a name but it wasn't mine

She called me bruce, bruce
I can hear her calling bruce, bruce
I can hear her calling bruce, bruce
I can hear her
My name is rick i'm gonna stick it to ya babe

And there's this kid walking carrying a guitar
You know i told him that i played
He asked me my name you know i told him
I said it plain as clear as day
Well he seemed really, clearly, sincerely impressed
And as he pulled a piece paper for me to sign from his vest
He said, "i thought born to run was one of your best"
Awww wait a minute man, who do you think i am?
He answered, "mr. springsteen, your a famous man."

He called me bruce, bruce
I can hear him calling bruce, bruce
He called me bruce, bruce
I can hear him
My name is richard gonna hit it to you babe

You know my mama called me long distance yesterday
And as she got off the phone i swear i heard her say

Bye bye bruce, bruce
I can hear her calling bruce, bruce
She called me bruce, bruce
I can hear her
My name is ricky gonna stick it to you babe

Jessie's Girl :)

I wouldn't want to be mixed up with bruce either :P Rick Springfiled is the ONLY Spring that matters :)

other:  Love Somebody

I love Rick Springfield. He's one of my favorites, but all of my favorites he does...I didn't really see anyone list them.

My favorites are:

Souls
I Get Excited
Don't Walk Away

I love just about every song he has ever done.
I use to love watching him on General Hospital in the 80's, he was so good looking. I always wanted the movie "Hard to Hold" to be good...I never liked the girl they paired him with, and the story line was really bad.
He was in an episode of The Incredible Hulk where he played a cop, and he was a black belt in karate ...he looked great in that episode.

Mine is Jessie's Girl!!  for obvious reasons ;D  I am a Jessie!!

I picked "Jessie's Girl" :)

Once again his best song isn't even listed. I originally voted for "Jessie's Girl" but "Love Somebody" is way better!
