NEW POLL: "Born in the USA" vs. "Rockin' in the Free World"
Added 2023-06-18 18:22:55 +0000 UTCIt is the '80s and it is Morning in America! Or is it?? Two legendary rock and roll firebrands are here to tell you that the Reagan era was bad actually, and they're going to kick ass doing so! So which is your favorite anti-American pro-American rock song of the '80s, Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" or Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World"?

Well now that I'm listening, yes, I would like to change my vote to Goodnight Saigon.

I mean I was gonna vote for The Boss anyways because I love him, but I wanted to make sure I knew exactly what song BitUSA was going up against. Not once had I heard Rockin in the Free World, nothing about it rang a bell, and I grew up with boomer parents.

2023-06-22 23:27:39 +0000 UTCThis is just unfair. Bruce Springsteen owns “Blue collar songs about America” the same way Weird Al Yankovic owns “Parody songs about food.”
