The big omissions in my opinion are Radio Free Europe (original hib-tone version), Country Feedback, Pilgrimage and (Don't Go Back To)Rockville. Other than about half of Up, I've had a hard time getting into anything post-New Adventures in Hi-Fi.
This is the longset post in history but here goes.
BORN TO RUN
In the day we sweat it out in the streets of a runaway American dream
At night we ride through mansions of glory in suicide machines
Sprung from cages out on highway 9,
Chrome wheeled, fuel injected
and steppin' out over the line
Baby this town rips the bones from your back
It's a death trap, it's a suicide rap
We gotta get out while we're young
`Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run
Wendy let me in I wanna be your friend
I want to guard your dreams and visions
Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims
and strap your hands across my engines
Together we could break this trap
We'll run till we drop, baby we'll never go back
Will you walk with me out on the wire
`Cause baby I'm just a scared and lonely rider
But I gotta find out how it feels
I want to know if love is wild
girl I want to know if love is real
Beyond the Palace hemi-powered drones scream down the boulevard
The girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors
And the boys try to look so hard
The amusement park rises bold and stark
Kids are huddled on the beach in a mist
I wanna die with you Wendy on the streets tonight
In an everlasting kiss
The highway's jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive
Everybody's out on the run tonight
but there's no place left to hide
Together Wendy we'll live with the sadness
I'll love you with all the madness in my soul
Someday girl I don't know when
we're gonna get to that place
Where we really want to go
and we'll walk in the sun
But till then tramps like us
baby we were born to run
Bangs,
This is a cool list. I'll have to do some research and see how often mine would agree with yours. On #2 I probably would, although Nevermind is excellent too. #5 however would have to be Darkness on the Edge of Town by the Boss. Again, great list. Your lists are always entertaining.
Ta,
sseay
08 is Laid by James
15 is Cherub Rock by Smashing Pumpkins
58 is Soma by the Strokes
65 is Ultraviolet (Light My Way) by U2
66 is the Sidewinder Sleeps Tonight by REM
67 is Better Be Quiet Now by Elliot Smith i think
that's all I know
Then 12 is Limelight - Rush. Always mix them up
Couple more
3.What It's Like - Everlast
19.Losing My Religion - R.E.M.
4.New Years Day - U2
5.Up Above It - NIN
7.Redemption Song - Bob Marley
12.Camera Eye? - Rush
17.Wonderwall - Oasis
A few of the others are familiar but for some reason escape me.

How about Born To Run by Springsteen?
Oops, just realized that Darkness is not the 5th springsteen album but the fourth. I transposed it and the river in my catalog system.
